How do I search for a string in a text file that has carriage returns within the string

I have a text file I am trying to locate strings. Lets say that the txt file looked like this:
'hello
world'
When I search for the string 'hello world' the above txt file would yield 0 results. How can I go about getting a result for this instead of it being overlooked?
Thank you for the help. Will

You can use
strtrim
function to remove the spaces between the text and then find the text.
Excellent. Similarly I also found I could use
str = regexprep(str,'\r\n|\n|\r',' ')
to remove formatting from my primary string and then search for the string.

str = regexprep(str,'\r\n|\n|\r',' ') or strtrim to remove formatting from the string and THEN doing a string search solves this issue
