How to remove linebreaks and replace them with a comma in Notepad++

I need some help in Notepad++ and regular expressions.

Example how it looks at the moment: 

aaaaa
bbbb
cccccc

How I want it (remove breakpoints and replace them with a comma and a blank space):

aaaaa, bbbb, cccccc

I was told that I can do it by checking "Regular expression" and "matches newline" and;

Find what: "[\r\n]+"

Replace with:","

-> Replace All

However I can't find the "matches newline" in my Replace window. Do I need any plugins for it? The version of my Notepad++ is 5.7 (UNICODE).

Not much complications are required for removing linebreaks using notepad++

Just select from end of line to the start of next line and press CTRL + H, you will get the text to replace and then replace it with , or your desired character
