You can then search and replace as usually. It also selects Regular Expressions mode. Opens standard VS Find/Replace window and automatically fills Find and Replace boxes with regex text. It allows you to enter multiline search/replace text. Or you must escape them all with \ character. That means that your original text cannot contain these characters. You can find complete definition in MSDN. Regex uses many characters which have special meaning, for example * +. But that means that you cannot just simply copy and paste the text to this dialog. So theoretically, all you need to do is to replace newline by \n in Find what and Replace with boxes and select Regular Expressions in Use box. You can define newline by \n sequence in regex. See Regular Expressions in MSDN for more info. So I wrote a macro that can do it.Īs you know, you can use regular expressions (regex in next text) in standard Find/Search. VS 2002, 20 is unable to perform multiline search/replace. All I needed was several replaces of multiline text. I just wanted to "refactor" some code to look more readable. March 2014: I have converted the macro to a VS extension which works in VS 2013-2005.
