Find hard carriage return with the Find/Replace tool does not work. This used to work in at least some older versions of OOo. Check regular expressions, enter $ or \N, no results are ever found. Soft carriage returns (\n) *are* found, just not hard ones. Thanks, Lance
Platform: SLED 11 sp1 i586 build info: Libreoffice 3.4 release The $ and \n works properly for 3.4 build.
Thanks for the info Yifan, Somewhat confirmed...It now works going forwards. Now, I'm not sure if anyone would ever *want* to find/replace $ going backwards, but that currently does not work. Lance
Stripping-out multiple carriage returns also fails: Finding ${2,8} returns nothing
[This is an automated message.] This bug was filed before the changes to Bugzilla on 2011-10-16. Thus it started right out as NEW without ever being explicitly confirmed. The bug is changed to state NEEDINFO for this reason. To move this bug from NEEDINFO back to NEW please check if the bug still persists with the 3.5.0 beta1 or beta2 prereleases. Details on how to test the 3.5.0 beta1 can be found at: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/BugHunting_Session_3.5.0.-1 more detail on this bulk operation: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/RFC-Operation-Spamzilla-tp3607474p3607474.html
Dear bug submitter! Due to the fact, that there are a lot of NEEDINFO bugs with no answer within the last six months, we close all of these bugs. To keep this message short, more infos are available @ https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/NeedinfoClosure#Statement Thanks for understanding and hopefully updating your bug, so that everything is prepared for developers to fix your problem. Yours! Florian
In 3.6.1 on Fedora 64 bit: search with $ works correctly, replacing - not. For example enter one line of text, several empty lines, another line. Then replace all occurrences of $ to empty line. Appears two lines in result, but should be one. search with ${2,8} not works. And $* not works

It is still impossible to search & replace multiple hard carriage returns (blank lines) Search for ^$^$ returns zero results; I believe OOo used to search for this using \N\N which also does not work in LibreOffice. Now using Version: 4.3.5.2 on Xunubtu.
Persists in 5.0.1.2. I'm not familiar with the substitute searches and haven't been able to test them.

still NOT solved Version: 7.1.0.3 / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 10(Build:3) CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 5.10; UI render: default; VCL: kf5 Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded
"\N" does not work, but I don't believe it is supposed to work as it is not documented by our help page[1] and not by the full ICU Regular Expressions documentation either[2], which we are supposed to support. Finding a hard carriage return works with "$", but only going forward in the text. So I am focusing this bug report in this particular problem. The issue with replacing is likely covered in bug 135538. Other issues can be described in another bug report, if a search of existing bugs doesn't return anything equivalent. Keeping bug reports focused will help getting the issues resolved.
