------- Additional comments from pierre1...@openoffice.org Sat Dec 27 22:27:00 +0000 2008 ------- When trying to replace a string by another, using the regular expression feature, in the BASIC CODE editor, it is IMPOSSIBLE to use matching variables $1 nor $0 nor & in the "Replace by" field. Everything you type in the "replace by field" is taken as LITERAL and is not interpreted as a regex. Example : I tried to set up a "comment out a block of basic code lines" search&replace command by just adding a quote at the beginning of each line of a block of lines, so : search for : ^(.*)$ replace by : '& Check "selection only" and "regular expression" boxes. Replace all => lines of the selection are all replaced by the two cars '& ! Other tests with $0 instead of & : same result; the regexp in "replace by" is NOT interpreted but taken as a literal expression. Same result with $1 instead of &. ALL THIS REGEXP SUBSTITUTIONS WORK WITH "WRITER" search&replace feature, but NOT with BASIC editor. IMPORTANT NOTE : replacing just ^ by ' (single quote) DOES NOT WORK NOR IN oo Basic Editor NEITHER in "Writer". That leads to "string not found" error message (ie "terme recherché introuvable" in my french localized version of oo 3.0). --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
