It should be possible to search for text with any specific formatting and
replace that text, formatting or both with any other text, formatting or both.

Examples of what should be possible: 
- use regular expressions (or any other method) and change all black,
autoformatted or e. g. non-blue text in a spreadsheet to red text.
- not limit the formatting options to things like bold, italic only.
- not tie the feature to styles etc (non-applicable in Calc, presumably), but be
fine-grained enough to work selectively on a text or letter by letter level,
and/or on a cell/block/column/row level - non-globally in the document.

In the Find  Replace dialogue for Calc and Impress/Presentation, the buttons
[Attributes...], [Format...] and [No Format] are missing. Using the format
painter doesn't seem to work either in this context.

This is available and works Writer.

[sw-issues] [Issue 15666] Search and Replace - can't substitute regular expression subexpression i n replace

From the 2.4 help file (node regular expressions;list of):

 or $0Adds 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.

Experimenting with 2.4 in conjunction with issue 15666 seems to give some hints
on two small improvements that may perhaps be possible for reducing the impact
of not being able to search for ^$ in conjunction with any string at all:

1. Use \r for inserting a paragraph mark/paragraph break instead of \n
2. Use \n for inserting a newline/line break

Rationale:
- OOo 2.4 can insert newlines, try a regex search and replace searching for \n
(any number) replacing it by  or $0 ($n if () are used in the search 
expression)
- OOo 2.4 can insert paragraph breaks already, but uses the wrong (illogical)
expression for it, \n, which is already used for newlines.

If this part of the code today is remotely like what it AFAIR was in 1.x, using
\r instead of \n for inserting a paragraph break seems to be a matter of
replacing the string \n by \r in the corresponding places of the code (and the
help files).

Let's hope a real programmer beats me to finding, downloading and messing up a
current snapshot of the code, although that part seems to be the easy part,
after looking at this:

Since I can't find an answer to the question I asked below, and the behaviour in
OOo 2.4 has not improved for e. g. substituting line breaks but is still broken,
I ask again:

@SBA: in 70554 you say You can as well produce an entire specification
(better use the spec template :-) and attach it to that issue.. 

What do you mean by spec template? If there's something I am able to do that may
contribute to getting this fixed, I'll do what I can, of course.

Once you set out to write a cross-platform application, it does become the
concern of the application developer to fill in the blanks left by the operating
system, or the application doesn't do its intended job in the concerned 
platform.

Even if it were a MSWindows issue, it would still be an OpenOffice issue too, as
long as OpenOffice is intended to run on Windows.

As for considering running OpenOffice on Linux, I've done so for many years, but
still *have to* use Windows for most tasks, as do a fair number of people, for
reasons other than ignorance or bloodymindedness on their own part. I see the
smiley, but can't help getting frustrated.

If you know of a general method for getting special characters via sensible
keyboard actions in platforms where this doesn't work in OpenOffice today,
please tell us all. 

BTW, I wonder if the special characters features in Linux you're talking about,
e. g. getting ß by pressing AltGr+S - S don't depend on a few things like locale
settings, keyboard layout etc. etc.

@redi2go: I must have either missed that, or it's due to my being on the tenth
(twentieth?) OOo installation since last May, some of the last ones being
special things for dealing with the infamous OOXML format, and the next upcoming
being for hopefully getting to terms with OOo shortcomings in regular 
expressions. 

Depending on macros for performing standard tasks isn't a solution, much as I
appreciate the effort. Will download and try it at any rate, thanks for the 
effort!

(I notice my last post got posted twice. This was probably triggered by my
reloading/updating the page in Firefox, sorry!)

There's no sign in sight one would have to worry about a configuration
nightmare, at least as far as Windows is concerned. I'd be happy to be proven
wrong, but the chances of Windows getting a global ability of *easily* typing
any manner of characters any time soon, look exceedingly remote. It would
probably have to go FOSS before that happens.

Apart from this, with all the characters possible in e. g. UTF8, there would
always be a large amount of characters that wouldn't be practicable to access
with keyboard combos without switching keyboard layout.

So the bug would still stand, it seems.

Switching keyboard layouts (yes, it's possible in Windows - if an Admin/root has
installed the corresponding language packs, activated this that and whatnot
etc.) and then dealing with unfamiliar key placements, is precisely what fixing
this bug would help us avoid.

Since no really useful *standard* solution seems to exist for at least Windows
(no, using Windows Charmap just isn't practical enough, and there most probably
are no other *standard* solutions), it has to be solved some other way. As for
missing features between apps - that happens all the time. Just take having to
use different spellcheck dictionaries for different apps, forcing you to
duplicate and triplicate work. 

Sad, but hard to avoid unless all the involved app makers and the OS makers
start talking to each others and standardize.

My issue, http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=70554 was closed as
a duplicate of this one. I've been looking at
http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=15666, which looked promising,
but now doesn't seem to address the problems in this issue or 7054.

In short, what issue 70554 is about, is giving an ordinary user the ability to
- search and find line breaks, any kind
- search and find paragraph breaks, any kind
- substitute any of the above, be it one or many with one or many of any
combination of the above.

Some *potentially* interesting info from drking in 15666 (which is targeted for
2.4):
The good news is that if OOo migrates to the ICU regex engine, many of the
existing issues may be resolved at a stroke. Although (looking at the ICU regex
spec) probably not all of them.

How likely this is to happen, or if it indeed solves this issue, I don't know.
Is there a general rework in progress? What issue should one look at to see
what's up, if any?

@SBA: in 70554 you say You can as well produce an entire specification
(better use the spec template :-) and attach it to that issue.. 

What do you mean by spec template? If there's something I am able to do that may

It's currently not possible to search for text with a certain formatting and
replace that text or that formatting with some other text or formatting.

E. g., it currently doesn't seem possible to e. g. use regular expressions (or
any other method) and change all black, autoformatted or e. g. non-blue text
in a spreadsheet to red text.

In the Find  Replace dialogue for Calc, the buttons [Attributes...],
[Format...] and [No Format] are missing. Using the format painter doesn't seem
to work either in this context.

This is available and works Writer, but seems to have gone missing in
Presentation too.

Not sure whether this should be set to editing or formatting.

Please pardon my ignorance as a layman. Does the Resolved and FIXED in this
issue mean that the issues in bugs
http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=46165 and
http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=70554 are also covered and 
fixed?

In short: will an ordinary user be able to
- search and find line breaks, any kind
- search and find paragraph breaks, any kind
- substitute any of the above, be it one or many with one or many of any
combination of the above?

There is a whole lot of translators and other users waiting for this good news,
since these bugs make it impossible for us to use Openoffice as anything much
more than an (resource heavy) auxiliary for petty tasks.

I don't want to insult your intelligence :), but after reading the issues
pointed to, and the one this is supposed to be a duplicate of, *and* from sad
experience, I wonder if you really, really got the whole point in this issue.

There is a crucial part of this issue, that I could not find clearly in any of
these issues you point to (directly or indirectly):
http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=75214
http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=46165
http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=63074
http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=28913

What is lacking there, is any mention of the ability to use replace for
/inserting/ *any number of CR's, LF's or CRLF's in any combination* into a 
document.

OOo needs to be able not only to distinguish between different ways of ending a
line, but also needs to be able to *both* find them *and* replace them *with any
one of the different kinds*.

This has been misunderstood so many times, and in so many ways, that I feel
forced to reopen the issue until unambiguously confirmed that the above has been
correctly understood and is included in whatever other bugs this is regarded as
being a duplicate of.

Please note that this is not just me being finicky - not having this feature
(along with a few others) contributes strongly to reducing OOo to a mere
sideshow for a whole professional group.

Es/Sba, a duplicate of which issue? I searched for this problem before posting
and didn't find it.

There are lots of different issues about regular expressions. Sometimes many
such issues get reported in one go - and get ticked off in the same go when/if
there is some resolution or other. Perhaps that's why you think you've seen it
before?

Using the search  replace dialogue with regular expressions to find and/or
replace CRLF's doesn't work (CR = carriage return, LF = line feed).

Using \n for searching only finds LF's, including several consecutive LF's, but
(predictably) not CRLF's.

Inconsistently, using \n for inserting/replacing something *with* an LF, instead
inserts a CRLF. This includes inserting several consecutive CRLF's.

Using any combination (that I've managed to test so far) using $ to search 
replace CRLF's, can only handle replacing *one*, the first, CRLF, not many
consecutive.

The standard regular expression \r for searching and/or replacing CR's (for some
reason often used for CRLF's too) doesn't work at all.

This all makes things like e. g. searching and replacing a string followed by
three CRLF's with some string followed by one *LF* impossible ATM.

Not being able to perform arbitrary search  replace operations on any types of
texts in formats supported by OOo with the means delivered in OOo, i. e. regular
expressions, renders OOo useless for many professional purposes without external
helper applications that *can* perform such standard operations, i. e. MS Office
or more highly specialized (read: non-trivial) tools. 

This defeats the purpose of having OOo at all.

Before adding this bug to the Translators Wishlist for OOo, I tried to duplicate
the bug behaviour in OOo 2.0 on W2K, and there is an oddity with triple-clicking
marking all the line *but* any spaces at the end of a line, but I can clearly
*see* the spaces.

Tried with odt, rtf and an old Word doc, inside and outside of tables and 
headings.

I don't know if the text selection oddities when triple-clicking should be
viewed as a part of this bug, or qualify as a new bug.

After some discussing and testing this on the OOo for translators list, we found
that the bug is indeed there after all, but it is only *at the wrapped end of a
wrapped line* that the space disappears.

IMHO, the bug summary should be changed to Show spaces at wrapped end of a line
in Writer, to avoid confusion and better pinpoint the problem. I believe this
is one reason why nobody addressed or even set this issue to confirmed or
worksforme.

In a table this bug shows as a downright ridiculous breakage of the WYSIWYG
paradigm: after typing past a line wrapping, one can insert as many new spaces
as one likes, none at all show. Hard spaces show the behaviour one might expect
from normal space.

If inserting all those spaces didn't result in a corresponding amount of space
characters being inserted, it might not have mattered (in some senses, although
it would of course be a serious thing in other ways), but it does. Copy-pasting
the portion from the table reveals all those spaces again.

If OOo is used to process tables that are used for importing e. g. proofread
material into some application, the results can be more or less disastrous. This
is not an academic excercise, I and many other translators use such applications
every day to make a living.

I suggest raising this bugs priority as much as possible, it's a serious bug.
