------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fri Sep 30 07:21:12 -0700 2005 ------- This, IMO, is critical; there are many cases where one needs to, say, replace a paragraph mark with two, or (as happens frequently in my own case) a text string containing metacharacters to two paragraph marks. What I'd eventually like to see is OpenOffice Write's search box be able to do /more/ than MSWord's (there are search and replace operations I'd love to be able to do in Word that simply cannot be done because it doesn't allow you to (say) "ignore" the first char of the replace. This being said, I will, as advised, check the help docs. RegEx and I do not often get along well, though. :) (Example of a S&R that i do with high regularity (Word 2000 and above) Search: "[^#^#:^#^#] <.MSA^?^?^?^?^?^?^?> " Replace: "^p" What the above does: Word sees "^#" as "any number", "^?" as "any char", "^p" as paragraph mark. Therefore, it replaces a string like "[23:21] <.MSAJ_Young> " with a paragraph mark. Again, will check the help system for this suite to learn how to do this via regex, but macro-chars like Word allows would be a big help! --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
