Lolo:
Thanks vbr for this confirmation.
I hope you will be able to correct this small bug.
In any case, I really love PhReplace!
Thanks and have a nice day.

Hi Lolo, sorry for the misunderstanding, I may have caused with my reply. In any case I am not the author of phReplace. (I just use it quite regularly and sometimes also try to answer some questions regarding the usage, if I'm able to.). I think Paul aka phdesigner will have a look at this problem.

Edit:
I just found out, that single replace maybe fails at [ or ]; although the RE mode is unchecked, it may be somehow there.
Moreover trying to replace e.g. {2} in non RE mode seems to cause system some kind of error.
Using regular expression and escaping those metacharacters, i.e. \[ \] etc. works fine, but it's rather ineffective, if one simply copies a text to be replaced...
Maybe this could help a bit with tracing the error source...

Hi vbr,

Sorry for the misunderstanding winking smiley
I have contacted the author of PhReplace.
Now let's hope he will be able to make a patch.

By the way, thanks for your investigation on this problem.

Have a nice day.

I really like the idea as this is something I was struggling with as I have huge files to change and have to do the change to 5 lines 5000 times.

So I tried the "replace all" feature but it just goes into a hang mode for quite some time.

So I opted for the no brainer option of clicking on "replace" 300 odd times but after replacing it then gives me an error message

"Run-time error: 6: overflow"

Can you please help.

I had tried to solve this issue before coming across this add on by doing a find and then copy paste...I tried to do the copy paste using a macro...but since I dont know much about how to write scripts in the macro i was pretty much stuck....can you point me in a direction where I can do tutorials and learn more about writing scripts in macros.

You can email me at tone007@rediffmail.com

Appreciate all your help and support.

thanks in advance
Tony

Hi, on huge files the replace might take some time, could you maybe post a sample data as well as the replacement?

I tried a dummy text

took approx. 7 minutes using phReplace 1.4.3

Maybe there other ways to achive this too.
The documantation to PSPad scripting is in the helpfile: Customize PSPad: Script

Macros are somewhat limited, but easier to use:

simple task: remove all empty lines.

regexp matching an empty line is: ^\s*$

the phReplace is finding all lines as matching. it seems that it has some problems with beggining of line as
^\s
matches *every* white char in document

FYI: I tried to design a regex for backward search to replace your original text in PSPad (4.5.4.2325), but with no success sad smiley

OTOH, I can do it using MultiEdit and/or Eclipse.

Hey thanks for this tip on the help file. I'll go through this. Here is an example of the file I have:

COMPDAT

c.a. 3000 times

Hi, I'm afraid, I couldn't find any viable solution for this task using PhHReplace or PSPad in general; I guess some specialised software might be more suitable for tasks like this.
Just to make sure I underestood well - you want to reduce some kind of data section between
"COMPDAT"
and
"/" - single slash on the line-beginning
so that only the first two lines from this section are retained - is it a correct interpretation?
(I'm not quite sure regarding the repetition are there ca. 3000 "data-lines" or that number of COMPDAT blocks ?)
Anyway, you may check the "List" and "list not matching" options of the search dialog, but I'm not sure, if it is possible to specify excluding regex for all not wanted lines ...
Sorry for not beeing able to help more effectively and specifically...

Hello,

I need some examples, the site:
www.regular-expressions.info

is fine, but I still don't know how to add new lines
(\n or \u000D) with the replace feature.

e.g. Search Regular expression:
(aaa)
Replace Regular expression
\n$1\n
or
\u000D$1\u000D
or
\\u000D$1\\u000D

is not working.
So what is the trick?

Regards

ellocco
