------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed May 28 08:42:05 +0000 2008 ------- >From the 2.4 help file (node "regular expressions;list of"): "& or $0 Adds the string that was found by the search criteria in the Search for box to the term in the Replace with box when you make a replacement. For example, if you enter "window" in the Search for box and "&frame" in the Replace with box, the word "window" is replaced with "windowframe". You can also enter an "&" in the Replace with box to modify the Attributes or the Format of the string found by the search criteria." "^$ Finds an empty paragraph." But: & or $0 in the Replace box do not insert an empty paragraph mark but instead the characters & or $0. Nicely enough, & works for inserting \n (with e. g. &&& inserting \n\n\n if only one \n and one \n alone was in the Search box), which indicates that correct handling of \n (for inserting line breaks (newline)) and \r (for inserting paragraph breaks) might not be impossible after all. @SBA: Should this too be viewed as a special case, with an issue of its own? I thought issue 46165 http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=46165 was supposed to be some sort of collector issue for regular expressions in general. Or should I reopen issue 70554 http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=70554 as being a special case/"mutating" issue? I can't find a "spec template" that you've mentioned in issue 46165. Is this it?: http://specs.openoffice.org/ http://specs.openoffice.org/collaterals/template/2.0/OpenOffice-org-Specification-Template.ott http://specs.openoffice.org/collaterals/OpenOffice_org_Specification_guide.sxw http://eis.services.openoffice.org/EIS2/guide.CheckSpecification If this is the kind of thing it takes, I guess I should file an RFE to the OOo Bugzilla that such pointers be included in every issue page, "Write a specification template". --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
