    here is a bug that is easy to to be checked
    - open new file
    - paste this text:
    insert into ROLE_MODULE(ROLE_ID,MODULE_ID,ACCESS_TYPE_CODE) values(1376,88,'0')
    - open search (tick regular expression on)
    - search for :
    insert into ROLE_MODULE\(ROLE_ID,MODULE_ID,ACCESS_TYPE_CODE\) values\(13
    - find the string (search successful)
    - search for :
    insert into ROLE_MODULE\(ROLE_ID,MODULE_ID,ACCESS_TYPE_CODE\) values\(137
    - can not find word !!

    happy debugging :D

      Ok to be honest with you i did not read the privies reply, yet still i really hate to find this limitation in notepad++, isn't there a way to make reg. exp. search except longer strings, it works in TextPad for example.

      I will try to make my search string shorter, thanks

      regards

      Something similar has been reported before. This has to do with the length of the regex. Try and find that message!

      Perhaps you'll remember your previous report about this:
      http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=1877767&forum_id=331754

      Why did you bring this up again?
      Didn't you try to make you regex shorter?
