    find: \R
    replace: $0$0
    ?

      @Ekopalypse

      For me, that puts too much “blankness” in certain spots (say, between “paragraphs”). But since we have no idea really what the OP wants for this circumstance…

        I’m editing a list of trackers for torrenting. For better readability, I want each line to be spaced apart. For example,

        http://redacted1/announce
        http://redacted2/announce
        http://redacted3/announce
        

        would become:

        http://redacted1/announce
        
        http://redacted2/announce
        
        http://redacted3/announce
        

        moderator redacted urls and added code block; we don’t want this topic to become a honeypot for torrent-advertising spam

            @Alan-Kilborn That worked for me, Thanks.
            Had same problem with separating a list of trackers as OP.

              @Sean-Shaffer It’s not just for readability. It simply doesn’t work other way. I mean when you copy-paste a list of trackers - it has to be line separated like that, otherwise it just doesn’t work (talking uTorrent here).
              So when i update the list in Notepad++ i hit “remove duplicates” and that also removes empty lines between addresses. So then i need to put them back, which this post helped me do. Nice, thanks everybody.

                @Alan-Kilborn said in How to insert blank line in between every line:

                Find: (?-s)^.+(\R)

                typing this in Find does nothing and some small windows opens :) trying to use Replace messes up whole document, leaving only 2 lines there.
                1st suggestion work fine, but that second idk, i wasn’t able to make it work.

                  Re: How to insert blank line in between every line
                  Using column selection (alt - left mouse btn)
                  A.png
                  press enter
                  B.png
                  Maybe the fastest way :))

                    This worked for me on tracker list

                    Find: \n
                    replace: \n\n
                    search mode: extended

                    if you replace with \n\n\n it adds 2 lines inbetween

                    before:

                    after:

                    hope this helps

                      This is rather dangerous.
                      Nice way to corrupt your files, possibly unknowingly, if your files are Windows and not Linux.

                      A better way might be:
                      Find: (\R)
                      Replace: $1$1
                      Search mode: Regular expression
                      I suppose this is about the same as @Ekopalypse 's post earlier, Jul 17, 2019, 11:01 AM.
