Mass replacement don't work

#1 Mass replacement don't work

Posted by: poncho | Date: 04/01/2008 10:24 | IP: IP Logged

I tried to replace "\r\n" in a large string with a real new line. I used regex, search="\\r\\n", replace="\n".
PSPad replaces only the first match.

I used a constans field from a Typo3 template (over 4800 chars in a single line)

PSPad 4.5.4 (2308)

Hi, due to the current limitation of the regex engine the backward search should be used for replacements with newlines.

See e.g. forum.pspad.com
