Find in files - can it search across line breaks?

[mitch.barker]

Is there a way that I can search for a string that may occur across a line break?

For example, if the file contains the two lines

Paris in the
springtime

I'd like to be able to find it using this (or any other) regex:

"Paris.*springtime"

Unfortunately TextPad won't do it I believe. But WildEdit will do exactly this

You can do it TextPad as follows:

Paris in the\nspringtime

I hope this helps.

That only works in the regular find (within a file). In the "Find in Files" dialog, textpad gives an error if the search string contains a "\n".

I need to do the search across multiple files.
