Yes I have recently upgraded to the latest version of TextPad. Sorry, I do not understand about regex.

You are asking us to guess what you are trying to do.
Do the "\n"s represent newlines or are they literal "\n"s?
Do you want an extra "\n" (literal or otherwise) introduced between Coupling sections?
Do you want all Buffer sections deleted?
Do you want the Type "chain" always to have its initial capitalised?
What is the rule for adjusting the Damping value? ("1e6N/m/s 1e6N/m/s" appears to change to "1e6N/m/s 5e6N/m/s".)
What is the rule for adjusting the Break value? ("5.1e7N 5.1e7N" appears to change to "1e8N 1e8N".)
What is the rule for adjusting the r0 value? ("20cm 30cm" appears to change to "20cm 40cm".)
Etc...
In the past I have cheched "Regular expression" in the "Replace" dialogue box and copied the block I want to replace and pasted this into the "Find what"" box.
I have similarly copied and pasted the block of text I want it reppaced with into the "Replace with:" box (I copy this from onother document).
I the check "All documents" and choose "Replace All" and all occurances of the first block are replaced by the second block.
This does not appear to work with the latest version of TextPad.
That couldn't have worked with your example in any version of TextPad, because of the backslashes and, depending on version and settings, the parentheses.
You still haven't answered the points raised by Drxenos and me, and you are still expecting us to guess what you want.
If you want help you will have to put as least as much effort into your questions as you expect others to put into their answers.
Ben, I cannot answer you points becuase I do not know the answers. I have previously been able to highlight a block of text, with "Regular expression" chosen, and replace it in all open documents with another block of text chosen. For some reason, I cannot now do this.
