I'm not familiar with Textpad - I use Notepad ++ for this type of chore - but check to see if TextPad will support doing a Find/Replace using a Regular Expression pattern, or look to a deditcated piece of RegEx software such as Regex Suite.
You can create your pattern that will key off of the CR/LF found that the end of each line in the document (assuming, of course, there is a CR/LF at the end of each line) to "wrap" that CR/LF with the new code you want.
I'm not a huge RegEx guy but this should work:
Find: \r?\n
Replace with: DesiredEndofLine\r\nDesiredBeginningofLine
I hope this helps...a good site for learning about Regular Expressions is RegularExpressions.Info http://www.regular-expressions.info
Take care,

Tried that out but it just gave me a an error that said "Cannot find literal string \r?\n". I also tried it with just "\r\n" because I wasnt sure if that question mark was a typo but it had the same response.

I found in textpad you can put a ^ to replace all items at the beginning of the line and then $ for the end, but for some reason if there is an ampersand in the text you are trying to insert, it doesnt get inserted. Example.
search: $
replace with: " &myCrLf
It puts " myCrLf at the end of every line but leaves out the &, any thoughts on this. Fixes?

John,
Try:
search: $
replace with: " !myCrLf
and then go back and try:
search: !
replace with: &
Or, look to see if you can "escape" a character...it might be treating that & symbol as a special character like it's treating the $ and the ^
I hope this helps,
Ric

John,
Or, you could switch over to Notepad which doesn't treat the & as a special character and do the second pass on the replace. I know...a long way to get to where you want to go, but it may be the only way.

Hey rcastagna,
Your response really helped a lot. It was required to do a second pass, just had to make sure that Regular Expressions was checked on the first pass and then unchecked on the second one.
I finally did a
search: $
replace with: " &myCrLf
WITH the regular expressions activated
and then went back and did a:
search: " myCrLf
replace with: " &myCrLf
with them not activated. Worked like a charm.

Add <title> to the beginning of lines 1, 3, 5, etc...(hundreds of lines in a notepad++ file)
Add </title> to the end of lines 1, 3, 5, etc...
Then:
Add <link> to the beginning of even number lines (e.g. lines 2, 4, 6, 8, etc...)
Add </link> to the end of even number lines (e.g. lines 2, 4, 6, 8, etc...)
Add </title> to the end of lines 1, 3, 5, etc...
Then:
Add <link> to the beginning of even number lines (e.g. lines 2, 4, 6, 8, etc...)
Add </link> to the end of even number lines (e.g. lines 2, 4, 6, 8, etc...)
