Subject: How to replace a character by an unprintable character ?
Date: 24 Jan 2005 13:00:16 -0800 [thread overview]

Hello,
Using M-% or C-M-% how do you replace each `;' in
a;b;c;d
by a carriage return (<RET>) to obtain :
a
b
c
d
The FAQ is not very explicit on this :
http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/emacs-faq.text
Question 5.9
It only tells how to *search* for unprintable characters but not how
to replace a character by an unprintable character.
Emacs info file is not clear on this either ( C-h C-k C-M-% )
I've tried several things out in the replacement string without
success :
\n
C-q <RET>
[\n]
$
?\n
none of them work.
If you have an idea...
Thanks,
Jérôme.
