Did you select Regular expression?
Is there any white space at the end of the line ConstA or at the beginning of the line ConstB?

Not spaces at end of line ConstA and begin of Line ConstB

yes.
I say this in initial topic.
This is a Visual Basic Code.
Transform Code A in Exit Sub and Code B in End Sub and you have my problem :
Private Sub..
...
Exit Sub
End Sub
Private Function
...
Exit Function
End Function
I want eliminate a Exit Sub/Function before End Sub/Function in old Visual Basic code (*.frm and *.bas)

No, you didn't.
I suspect I do not understand your requirements.
Does searching for
Exit Function\nEnd Function
and
Exit Sub\nEnd Sub
not work?

yes.
I am using TextPad 4.7.3 (Not exist still brazilian version)
Find : Exit Sub\nEnd Sub
Files ; *.frm;*.bas
Folders : C:\My VBProjects
Conditions : Text and Regular Expression
Details : All lines
Search in subfolders
Result : Is not possible find files at regular expression include "\n"
(Não foi possivel pesquisar arquivos para encontrar uma expressão regular incluindo '\n')
I seach wich Posix and without Posix setting

Trying to help define the problem.....
Do you have something like this, blocks of Sub/Function code that you need to remove the lines between the Exit and End lines?
Exit Sub
line 1
line 2
line 3
End Sub
Exit Function
line 1
line 2
line 3
line 4
End Function
ends up as
Exit Sub
End Sub
Exit Function
End Function

You didn't say you were using
Find In Files.
The error message means what it says. This is a deficiency of the
Find In Files functionality in TextPad. Have you considered WildEdit (
http://www.textpad.com/products/wildedit/), which is designed "to make the same changes to a set of text files in a folder hierarchy".

no, Bob Hansen
don't have block of statments betwen Exit Sub/End Sub
only have this statements, but Exit Sub is not necessary now (in VB3 is necessary) and in need remove.
