Choose newline character in Notepad++
Notepad++EolNotepad++ Problem Overview
I notice that when I load a text file, Notepad++ will recognize and use whatever the newline character in that file is, \n
or \r\n
.
Is there some option where I can select which to use in a new document? (I've looked in help and googled, but can't find anything.)

Solution 1 - Notepad++
For a new document: Settings -> Preferences -> New Document/Default Directory -> New Document -> Format -> Windows/Mac/Unix
And for an already-open document: Edit -> EOL Conversion
Solution 2 - Notepad++
"Edit -> EOL Conversion". You can convert to Windows/Linux/Mac EOL there. The current format is displayed in the status bar.
Solution 3 - Notepad++
on windows 10, Notepad 7.8.5, i found this solution to convert from CRLF to LF.
Edit > Format end of line
and choose either Windows(CR+LF)
or Unix(LF)
Solution 4 - Notepad++
Notepad++ - change the EOL format
Just double click on that EOL format in status bar and select Unix(LF). It's not possible to default save it in this (LF) format. Just option for new document mentioned earlier...
