[TC11.51 RC3] Can not find text in files with Linux line returns

[andry81]

Working file example:

File: 1.txt

123\r\n

Attempt to find:

Search for: *empty*
Find text: 123\n

NOT working example:

File: 1.txt

123\n

Attempts to find:

Search for: *empty*
Find text: 123\n

Search for: *empty*
Find text: 123\r

Both does not work. Seems the `\n` in the `Find text` corresponds to the Windows line return character sequence - `\r\n`.

Is there a way to search `\n` in a file text as a raw character instead of character sequence?

Search for the hex sequence:

"123" 0A

Just noticed that searching for \x0d or \x0a in regex do not work either.

Sorry, \n only finds Windows line breaks. Currently there are no plans to change this.

Regular expression search only works within lines. Multiple lines cannot be found. This is briefly explained on the regular expressions page in the help:

The other modificators are not relevant for Total Commander, because the program only supports searching within one line.
