[thelist] HomeSite: Search & Replace for special characters?

Select the tab or carriage return, and SHIFT+ CTRL + R (or Search -> 
Extended Replace)
You can build them into a regular expression if you need pattern 
matching. The trick is to use the literal character, not \t or \n as you 
might do elsewhere in a regexp.
Also remember to escape any / or any of the special characters like 
?+.() etc. with a backslash if you need to match them as literal character.
