I am trying to find files with UNIX end of line coding. That is files terminated by LF rather than CFLF.

However, when I use \r or \n in a regular expression, I do not find anything. The tab \t works.
I looked for an option to select single or multi line mode, but could not find anything.

Can anyone help or is not possible to search for end of lines in Fileseek?

Unfortunately, due to the way that FileSeek processes each line during the search, it's not possible to search for \r or \n.

However, I did find a free tool that should help you do what you're looking for: http://code.google.com/p/grepwin/

Just use .\n as the Regex search and you should be all set. I've attached a screenshot for reference.
