"Incompatible line delimiter near index"

[Adam Cameron.]

G’day
I’m doing a search and replace of \t\r\n, replacing it with just \r\n.  CFB says to me "Incompatible line delimiter near index", in red, down the bottom of the Find/Replace dialogue.

What does that mean?

Also, if I click the Help icon next to the message, I just get "The context help for this user interface element could not be found".

You're trying to use \n instead of \r\n in the replace.

I got it when I matched:

\n\t*foo

in order to match the whitespace formatting in my source code.  The fix for me was to use

\r\n\t*foo instead.
