I am using PowerGrep to collect some data from html files. In every file I match two strings using regex, and then I want to combine that two strings into one line.

I tried to use:

$\r\n

and replace with blank but it won't work. When I use the same regex in Notepad++ it works. But I can't use Notepad++ to collect data from a lot of files at once. Any hint how to combine two lines in PowerGrep?

This is what I have

aaa, 
bbb

Want this:

aaa,bbb

Remove `$`, use `\r\n`. Or `\r?\n`. Or `(?>\r\n?|\n)` – Wiktor Stribiżew May 28 '19 at 20:24
What do you mean by _combine 2 strings into 1 line_ ? Give an example. – May 28 '19 at 20:34
@Wiktor thanks, tried them all in PowerGrep but dont work. – Robert May 29 '19 at 12:30
@sln I edited my question. – Robert May 29 '19 at 12:31
Are you sure these are really CRLF endings? Try `[\u000A\u000B\u000C\u000D\u0085\u2028\u2029]+` – Wiktor Stribiżew May 29 '19 at 13:18
Probably there is a simple option called Multiline or something. – Wiktor Stribiżew May 29 '19 at 14:42
Yes, these are CRLF, I can select it as a character, but don't know how to remove it. I know it is simple but none of solutions work. – Robert May 29 '19 at 16:21
To _remove it_ as you say, requires a replacement. Like find `\r?\n` replace with nothing. – May 29 '19 at 16:23
