Can I replace character with linefeedchracater in Notepad++ ?
-
Using the replace feature in Notepad++, is there a way to replace a character such as: “[” the left bracket say with a combination to effect a “Line-Feed” and then the “[” bracket?
- thanks in advance

Yes, you would use Regular expression for the Search mode, and specify a Find what box of
\[and then in the Replace with box you would put\n[ -
Hmmm, upvotes of a bad regex…hmmm… :-)
I swear I was thinking
\[for Find what as I was composing before.[by itself generatesFind: Invalid regular expressionin red at the bottom of the Find window. -
WTF
Did I do it again, or did this site consume my backslash?
I meant
\\[
and so far now I’ve meant it twice!Edit: Apparently the site ate it, and I did it right the earlier times, I just didn’t proof it.
Normally if you put a single backslash inside backticks, this site will keep it.
But if it is the first character after the opening backtick, it will eat it??? -

\[vs\\[`\[` vs `\\[`Both look right in preview
…
Edit: but final render doesn’t match preview -
Now that I’m on a computer, rather than my phone, a fuller experiment:

~\~I skipped the backslash-backslash pair, and the backslash backtick pair, because those both add another layer of confusion. The preview shows all of thse as I would expect:

Looks like
