inserting end-of-line in the minibuffer

inserting end-of-line in the minibuffer

[jean daniel browne]

Hi all,

I try to change the following
foo
bar
foo
bar

into the following
foo$bar$foo$bar$

It could be done with a search and replace but I cannot type the
end-of-line character in the minibuffer. Can you ?  Where did you find the
info? (I go crazy I did it a week ago)

Thank you very much.

Throw a C-q on emacs, and it will insert the next character typed, not
"executing" it, so C-q C-j in the minibuffer will make some magic for
you.

You can type it with `C-q RET'.

Hmm, it's not mentioned under `query-replace' in the manual, but the
section about incremental search [1] says that you can use `C-q' to
search for control characters.

[1] In isearch you can just do `C-j' to search for eol, though.  Maybe
it's a little inconsistent that it doesn't work in query-replace.

It doesn't seems to work with NTemacs 21.2.2.1

Though your post was very useful because you named "control character". I
found a section in the manual on this subject: `C-q C-j' does work on my
machine

thank you very much, indeed.
