How to match Return character

PostPosted: Thu May 21, 2026 10:42 am

Hi Mr Noodle,

At some stage recently (I'm not sure when), Hazel has stopped recognising Return characters (line breaks) in the Contents Contains Match rule. Previously, a space character in Hazel would match with a Return character in the document. This no longer works. I can't find any way to match the return character at all, because some of my documents have patterns that are only recognisable when multiple lines are looked at together.

Is this a bug or a new feature?

Thanks.

There should be no change on that front. Are you sure there isn't some other invisible character coming into play here? Can you post specifics from your rule/file?
