Remember that TextPad is a text editor. There is no such thing as a paragraph marker in plain text (unless you mean the paragraph sign:
¶ or
§). Do you mean the markers at the ends of paragraphs in a word processing document produced by a program such as Microsoft Word? MS Word allows you to search for these markers using the idiosyncratic pattern
^p. If you save a Word document as a plain text file, you will find that the ends of paragraphs are converted into end-of-line markers (by default on a PC, a pair of characters:
<CR> (carriage return),
<LF> (line feed)). End-of-line markers are often called, generically,
new lines.
You can search for new lines in TextPad using regular expressions. You can use any of the patterns
^,
$ or
\n. The patterns
^ and
$ are anchors; that is, they match
at a new line without matching any characters.
^ matches at the beginning of a line;
$ matches at the end of a line. So if you replace either of them with something, that something replaces no characters; it is just inserted. The pattern
\n matches the new line itself; so if you replace it with something, that something replaces the new line. Thus you can remove new lines, joining adjacent lines together.
It is not clear from your message exactly what you are trying to do. But if you want to insert a double quote at the end of each line, you can use Search | Replace:
Find what: $
Replace with: "
