How do I replace a newline in Atom?

Solution 1:

Looks like Atom matches newlines as \r\n but behaves inconsistently when replacing just the \n with nothing.

So newlines seem to match \s+ and \r\n, and only "half" of the line-ending matches \n.

  • If you replace \n with a string, nothing happens to the line-ending, but the string is appended to the next line
  • If you replace \r with a string, nothing happens at all, but the cursor advances.

Solution 2:

It's alittle bit late to answer but i use following term to search and it works with Atom v1.19.7 x64

\r?\n|\r
