[notepad++] Removing all line breaks and adding them after certain text

I have text file in which I have to remove all line breaks, and later add new ones after each text </row>. how could I do that using replace tool?

This question is related to notepad++

The answer is


  • Open Notepad++
  • Paste your text
  • Control + H

In the pop up

  • Find what: \r\n
  • Replace with: BLANK_SPACE

You end up with a big line. Then

  • Control + H

In the pop up

  • Find what: (\.)
  • Replace with: \r\n

So you end up with lines that end by dot

And if you have to do the same process lots of times

  • Go to Macro
  • Start recording
  • Do the process above
  • Go to Macro
  • Stop recording
  • Save current recorded macro
  • Choose a short cut
  • Select the text you want to apply the process (Control + A)
  • Do the shortcut

You can also try this in Notepad++

  • Highlight the lines you want to join (ctrl + a to select all)
  • Choose Edit -> Line Operations -> Join Lines

You can also go to Notepad++ and do the following steps:

Edit->LineOperations-> Remove Empty Lines or Remove Empty Lines(Containing blank characters)


I have achieved this with following
Edit > Blank Operations > Remove Unnecessary Blank and EOL
