Using Search and Replace in Eclipse, how do you replace a string with a multi-line String

Question

Using the eclipse Search and replace functionality, I was to search for a single line string and replace it with a multi-line string. I already attempt to use \\n and /n to insert a new line.

Answer 1

You just have to ensure the "Regular Expression" box is checked before performing the search. Then in the replace dialog you will also have a "Regular Expression" box which must be checked. Then you separate each new line with a new line character "\\n" in the replacement string.

Example:

<!-- Google Analytics -->\n     <script type="text/javascript">\n code\n
