------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Oct 10 12:50:28 +0000 2007 ------- i.e. consider a writer document with just ABCZDEFZGHI in it. If we use a regexp of ^[^Z]+Z then we want to match text that starts at the beginning of the paragraph that has one of more characters that are not Z and that sequence followed with a final Z, so taking the above example and just "find all", we simply match the ABCZ above, the problem arises when we use "replace all" and set the replace string to nothing, then we get GHI. We're replacing the ABCZ with nothing, but then we're apparently re-running the regexp on DEFZGHI which is now the new beginning of the paragraph. i.e. for replace all, instead of echo ABCZDEFZGHI | sed -r -e 's/^[^Z]+Z//' we have effectively echo ABCZDEFZGHI | sed -r -e 's/^[^Z]+Z//' | sed -r -e 's/^[^Z]+Z//' --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
