Question

Is there a way to find a paragraph?

For instance I want to search for this code:

<?php
    $radio_buttons++;
  }
?>

But when I try to copy that into the search box it only copies the first line, <?php.

It seems like there is definitely a way to do this, but I just can’t find it. Maybe it is an addon?

I wrote a multiline search and replace add on for Notepad++, check it out here:
