i can't get \n, \r and \xXX to work when searching (with the regular expression box checked) (version 3.2 on NT). any suggestions?

Instead of searching for \n and \r characters, you must search for $ (end of line) character.

1. Thanks for responding.
2. This is not a big problem since I can live without it. Basically the problem I'm having is that the file opens in GTE with 2 new lines (for every line). Each line terminates in HEX with 0D 0D 0A. I can open the file in WORD and it displays and prints with only one new line. I want to get rid of the first 0D in GTE.

Here is a sample of the text file in ASCII (if the 0D 0D 0A makes it through email):

MADE Time: 952112.50 T=(0:0:15:52.112.500)

Primary; BC to RT C=F9A0(RT:31-T/R:0-SA:13-WC:32)

0FD0 E530 0079 0000 0000 0007 0C00 0015

0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000

3. Another side effect is that if I position my cursor after the displayed $ at the end of the line, when I search for $, it backs up.
