How to Remove CRLF in Notepad

When you're editing exported CSV or other plain text files in Notepad, you may find that the exported data contains unwanted, extra characters, such as CRLF or a slash ("\") at the end of each line. You can easily remove each instance of the unwanted characters by using default features of Notepad. Simply perform a "Find & Replace" for the unwanted characters and replace all instances of the string with a space or nothing.

Instructions

2. Click the "Edit" option on the top navigation bar and then click "Replace." The "Find & Replace" option box opens.

3. Type the unwanted characters into the "Find" input box.

4. Type a space into the "Replace With" input box, or simply leave the input box empty to replace the characters with nothing.

5. Click the "Replace All" button. All instances of the unwanted characters will vanish.

6. Click the "File" option and then click "Save" to save the edited document.
