Notepad ++：将多个换行符减少为单个换行符

Question

My text document has multiple line breaks at random places. Want to use Notepad++ to reduce any multiple line breaks to a single line break. How can I accomplish that?

I am on the lines of using \\n in extended Find/replace mode but can't quite get it.

Answer 1

You can use a regular expression S&R:

(?:\r\n){2,}

or

\R{2,}

in the Find what field and

\r\n

in the Replace with field. You may adjust the replacement pattern as per your needs.

Answer 2

You could use \\R if you want to deal with any kind of line break (ie. \\r or \\n or \\r\\n ):

Find what: (\\R)+
Replace with: $1

This will replace multiple line breaks (of any kind) with a single one.
