If the free source code editor Notepad++ has the feature "Find in files...", that is without the files being opened in the editor, does it also have the feature "Replace in files..."?

Notepad++ is based on the editing component Scintilla - for which at SourceForge there is a response to a request for this feature: "No need for this to be included in SciTE as you can add this command to the Tools menu using the Parameters dialog." So is it possible to do multi-line replace in files in Notepad++?

The workaround is

  1. search and replace \r\n to thisismynewlineword

(this will remove all the new lines and there should be whole one line)

  1. now perform your replacements

  2. search and replace thisismynewlineword to \r\n

(to undo the step 1)
