My problem with that technique is that is doesn't lend itself to documentation of what has been done to a text file in the text file itself. I receive a file and play with it in the search/replace window until I see what works. I then want to send the original copy, some text showing what I did, and the modified version. The modal nature of the search/replace window makes it easier to write a full fledged perl script. In short, I want to paste my patterns and other stuff related to find/replace in a worksheet and it remains a PITA. What I'd really like is a way to execute search/replace commands from a worksheet in a way that they would refer to a targeted open window. -- --> From the U S of A, the only socialist country that refuses to admit it. <-- -- ------------------------------------------------------------------ Have a feature request?
