ADD A LINE AT THE END

Memole1990

Hello, I am novice to NotePad.

I would need to add a new line of text after certain lines already present (not all of them).

I tried with:
Find what: $
Replace with: \r

But in this way he adds a new line to me at the end of all the lines already present.

How could I do that? Thank you very much!

Well you’d have to start by specifying how to identify these “certain lines already present”, i.e., what makes them special? There has to be a pattern to it otherwise it can’t be done.

Hello, @memytim19 and All,

Well, it depends on the location where you want to insert this new line :

If you want to insert this new line at the very end of current file :
- SEARCH \z
- REPLACE \r\n
If you vant to insert this new line after the Nth first lines of current file
- SEARCH (?-s)\A((?:.*\R){N})
- REPLACE \1\r\n
If you want to insert this new line after the line ( or each line ) containing the named string String
- SEARCH (?-s)(?<=String)(.*\R)
- REPLACE \1\r\n

For instance, given this INPUT text :

The first regex S/R would produce :

The regex S/R :

SEARCH (?-s)\A((?:.*\R){5})
REPLACE \1\r\n

gives the following OUTPUT text :

and, finally, the regex S/R :

SEARCH (?-s)(?<=test)(.*\R)
REPLACE \1\r\n

would return :

P.S. :

Of course, select the Regular expression search mode and tick the Wrap around option !
