    Is there a way to replace linebreaks with BBEdit?

    I have some text and it has line breaks/return carriages and I want to replace them. I can't really find a way to do this in BBEdit by default. Anyone know how I can do this?

    Grep is perhaps one of the most powerful and least understood features of BBEdit. The version of grep that is used in BBEdit is a very basic version, similar to UNIX's egrep. If you don't know how to use it, it's time you learned, because it is immensely useful. BBEdit discusses how to use grep in the Apple Guide (and in the manual), but it may be a little short of an explanation for those unfamilar with it, so here's my explanation.

    Well with BBCode have you tried replacing it to be with [br][/br] or <br></br>? The "br" stands for break and it is a simple BBCode that makes a line break but just won't say it and it will just make it look like somebody hit the enter key when making the message.
