<![CDATA[I can't get search and replace to work anymore.]]>Specifically, I am trying to do a few things at once.
I want to search for “No Citadel” or “Level ?” [1-6"] with spaces before it and a CR afterwards and replace the spaces and CR with a tab.
I did this once, but lost it,

As far as I know, something like:
“\s+(No Citadel|Level ?)\R”
“\1\t”
should work, but I cannot figure out what I am doing wrong.
Are any of you willing to help? :)

This is for a game from the 80s and 90s called Tradewars 2002 and due to the inherent limitations of the system, it creates tables using a monotype font, and each row requires two rows on-screen, so I like to export and format it to make it easier to read.

Thank you very much! Please enjoy your day! :)

Also, I forgot to turn on Regular expression. Can you believe it?! What a noob! :D

It works now! Thanks!

The question mark has special meaning to Notepad++ regex: “0 or 1 of whatever came right before”. So in your expression, it means “0 or 1 spaces”, which is not what you want.

\? matches a literal question mark
But given 1-6", I think you want \d to match a digit character
