  I know you can use n to match a newline, but how do you match either newline OR EOF ?
  I want it to match all lines, including the last line, which have some specific text followed by either newline or EOF. For example, I can use “sometextn”, but this won’t match on the last line.

  I didn’t mention it in my original post, but I want to replace the newline, where present. For example, suppose I have three lines:

  line1
  line2
  line3
  There is a newline character after “line1” and “line2”, but not after “line3”. I want to use a Find/Replace regex to convert it into the following:

line1A, line2A, line3A
My Find regex would be something like
([[:alnum:]]+)n
and the Replace regex would be
1A,
but this does not produce want I’m after due to it not matching the last line, so the end result is:
line1A, line2A, line3
That is, no “A, ” after “line3”.
So, I was hoping for a way to match either a n or EOF, and replace the n, but not the EOF (as that’s obviously just a virtual char).

I can’t reproduce what you are claiming in this case.
I’ve tried with both unix-LF and windows-CRLF files.
AString
ANotherString
YetAnotherString
EvenMoreString
This Search: ([[:alnum:]]+)n
Replace: 1,
Results in:

AString, ANotherString, YetAnotherString, EvenMoreString

Thanks CrashNBurn! The last regex is what I’m after
([[:alnum:]]+)($n|$)
