eclipse search - regex finding start/end of file with carriage return

Question

I would like to remove any line breaks/carriage returns at the start and end of files but eclipse doesn't seem to recognize $$ or ^^ for end/start of file. Anyone know how to do a regex with eclipse search?

sof ^^ Start of File
eof $$ End of File

Answer 1

You can use \A to represent the start of the file, and \Z to represent the end of the file.
