#51 Issue with searching/replacing using regular expressions

[Anonymous]

Hi

There are several issues with searching / replacing using
regular expressions in syn 2.1.31.

For example, searching for blank lines using '^\n' works
but search next doesn't move from the first occurance.

Searching for a blank line, using the regular
expression '^\n', and replacing it with other characters
doesn't appear to work either.

I would hope that syn would allow a search for regular
expression '^\n' and replacement with ''. Thus removing
the blank lines.

Searching for the end of a line using '$' doesn't appear
to work either.

I'm sure there are probably more but these were the
first I encountered.

Cheers

Thank you!

Danail to fix this in frmEditor TEditor.ExecFindNext,
TEditor.ExecFindPrev, TEditor.ExecFindNextWord,
TEditor.ExecFindPrevWord:

if fHasSelection then // <- Add this line
CaretX := BlockBegin.x;

I'll see what else is wrong

Hmm, '^.*$' selects the entire line.

I tried to use the following regular expression to search
and replace (ignore the bars, they're delimiters, as the
replace string has a space):

Search: |(..)|
Replace: | \$$0|

My aim was to replace the selection of "1AB53F04" with " $1A
$B5 $3F $04" -- but instead, the replacement was " $1AB $53F
$04", even though the messagebox said "4 replacements made".
