Re: [Alphacocoa-devel] regex search and replace

[Bernard D. <bde...@or...>]

Hi Eberhard,

Do I understand correctly: you mean you want to replace every occurence of 
    <mailto:some_email>
by
    some_email

It this is the question, then:

- put the following regular expression in the Search field of the Find dialog 
<mailto:([^@]+@[^>]+)>


- type
\1
in the Replace field

- check the Regexp check box

- click on the Replace All button if you want all of them to be replaced
OR click Search Window and replace one by one by pressing cmd-J on every match


HTH,
Bernard
