find / replace

Post by bulldog57 »

I have a text file and would like to replace all of the 'tilde' characters (~) with a carriage return / line feed. Is this possible?

select F8 to get find replace dialogue box

find what: ` (put a tilde here)

replace with: \n

make sure regular expression [x] is ticked

click [replace all]

That should do it.
