Is there a way to add an "enter" as part of a replace command?

[Stephen Knapp]

I have a wikitable that I’m compiling and I’ve got each row set as something like

|-|4 |Destroyer Kamikaze Class |37.5 |102.6 |9.1 |23.2 |2.9 |1398 |100

I’d like to replace each	-	sequence with a

|

But I can’t seem to figure out how to format the replace

Hello @stephen-knapp and All,

So, if I understood you, clearly, you have lines like :

|-|4 |Destroyer Kamikaze Class |37.5 |102.6 |9.1 |23.2 |2.9 |1398 |100

and you expect this resulting text :

|-
|4 |Destroyer Kamikaze Class |37.5 |102.6 |9.1 |23.2 |2.9 |1398 |100

Am I right about it ?

Best Regards

To answer the direct question, which was:

The answer is yes, use Regular Expression for the Search mode, and use the sequence \r\n in the Replace with box, potentially along with other text.

Hi, @stephen-knapp, @alan-kilborn and All,

If I presume that my guess was correct, here is the regex S/R :

• SEARCH ^\|-

• REPLACE $0\n in an Unix file    OR    $0\r\n in a Windows file

• Options Wrap around and Regular expression selected
