			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Often it is useful to do a global search and replace in a directory of files. For a search string on a single line this is trivial. Just hit Ctrl-Shift-H or &#8220;Edit -&gt; Find and Replace -&gt; Replace in Files&#8221;. Then enter the necessary information and do the replacement.</p>
<p>It becomes more tricky when you have a multiline search or replacement string. With the standard options in the search and replace box you can&#8217;t do this. But select Regular Expressions in the Find Options section and a multi-line string becomes possible.</p>
<p>Now you can use Regular Expressions in the search. Enter your search and replace string as normal but enter &#8216;\n&#8217; where you want a newline to appear. Visual Studio can now find and replace multi-line strings!</p>
