------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tue Jul 17 15:47:27 +0000 2007 ------- I programmed a replace function in Delphi (I'm sorry to say that I'm absolutely no good at C++) with a different set of regular expressions or wildcards but with the possibility to use \1 - \9 in the replace by string to access variable text in the search string. My very simple system worked like this: The search and replace methods call a match function that returns true if a match is found. The match function has a lot of parameters, like the start and end position of the found text, the search and replace string, and of course a reference to the string that holds the text you're trying to find the search string in. The match function assembles text matching expressions in () in an array of strings; when a match is found the switches in the replace string are simply replaced by the corresponding strings in the array. I didn't include & and \0 - not having & was an oversight but I'm not sure that \0 is used a lot in word processors (it's definitely not done in MS Word) and I feel that comparing OO.o Writer with a (in my humble view) low-level editor like Sed isn't quite correct. I hope the support of switches in the replace by string will be implemented soon. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
