Hello all,
How do you find blank lines or carriage returns/new lines using
regular expressions. When I type \n it selects all the n characters in
the page. I need it to look for special characters. I can search for
tabs by hitting the tab key but not by using \t as a shell based
regular expression allows.
I looked in the man pages, GNU Emacs Pocket Reference and Learning GNU
Emacs and probably missed it somewhere.
Thanks,
Robert Pollard
