How to combine multiple rows into one row in Notepad++ ?

Let's say you have copied some data from some source and pasted into Notepad++. And now you got something like this. But you want to combine all the data rows into one rows.

There could be many ways to do that. Here I am sharing 2 simple and quick ways to it.

 

Method 1

Select all the data rows which you want to combine as one row.

And simply press Ctrl + J from keyboard, 

Or Go to Menu Edit --> Line Operations --> Join Lines

The benefit of using this method is, it automatically adds space between combined rows while making them as one .

And you are done. Simple ! Isn't it ? 😃

Method 2

You can make use to find/replace feature of Notepad++. 

Put the cursor to the first line and press Ctrl + h, it will open Replace window for you.

Now enter [\n\r]+ in Find what field. If you want to add a specific word or comma between 2 combined rows, enter that in  Replace with field.

Select Regular Expression radio button.

Click Replace All, and your done.
