How do you get Notepad++ to show separate lines when /r/n is in the text?

Question

I've pasted some XML into Notepad++. The pasted text contains \r\n wherever a newline is supposed to occur. However, Notepad++ is just showing the entire file on a single line. It is as if it is ignoring the \r\n

So the text look like this:

Some stuff on one line\r\n     Some stuff that should be on another line\r\n

Instead of:

Some stuff on one line
Some stuff that should be on another line

Answer 1

Press Ctrl+H and the Replace dialog will open.

1. Type \\r\\n in "Find what"
2. Type \r\n in "Replace with".
3. select search mode Extended (\r, \n, \t, \x..., \0)
4. click "Replace All"

Answer 2

Try setting the search mode in Notepad++ to Extended. Then, find and replace all the /r/n with an actual line break(\n). See: This post for more information about this similar case. From what I found, you can get away with simply \n.
