emeditor not responsive when replace with nexline regex \n

Question

I met such a problem, when i want to replace millions or more matching words with new line regex \n ( to split the content into millions lines) . The replacing tasks looks took a very long time. and looks no responding.

I'm Using the lastest version.in window 10.

Can you check if this can be solved ?

Answer 1

\n is an escape sequence as well as a regular expression. Select Escape Sequence instead of Regular Expressions in the Replace dialog box to increase the replacement speed.
