      hmm - what about
      find: \R
      replace: $0$0
      ?
      ;-)

        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.

                    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


                      moderator deleted before/after data; don’t want this to become a honeypot for tracker url spamming

                        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.
