extended replace & line breaks?

[sagemaniac]

Hi there,
[*]
first off, thanks for your work, CSE might just become my main editor .

One thing that really has kept me from switching to any other software from homesite (though I do have to use notepad2 for UTF-8 files):
I got really used to "extended replace" - being able to perform a replace on all open files or in specific folders recursively INCLUDING line breaks.

I don't think I can do this in CSE?

example:

replace
"[line break]
[tab]"

with
"</filename>[line break]
[tab]<filename>"

the result will be nice wrapping a list of words like so:

contentback.jpg</filename>
<filename>content.jpg</filename>
<filename>footer.jpg</filename>
<filename>left.jpg

best regards,
Richard

Hello,

There is a Search->Replace in All Open Documents function. Unfortunately there is no search/replace feature that can work given a folder. The documents have to be open in the editor.

Try searching for "\r\n\t" and replacing with "</filename>\r\n\t<filename>". Be sure to check the Regular expressions option.

I hope this helps. Please let me know how it works!

Working on open files is definitely safer then changing the content of whole directories. No problem there.

Try searching for "\r\n\t" and replacing with "</filename>\r\n\t<filename>". Be sure to check the Regular expressions option.

For some reason searching for "\r\n\t" did not work.
But when I select a line break and hit replace, I get a selection that looks like three empty squares.
This is pretty much the way regular replace worked in Homesite.

Replacing those with reg. expression on works just the way I need it to

Thanks. CSE seems quite a bit more then just a validator.

Are you using CSE HTML Validator v9.0x? The above was for v9.0. It may not work in previous versions.

Also, "\r\n" may be dependent on the text format. If it's a "Unix" format, then you may need to use just "\n" instead.

If the above doesn't help, please let me know in more detail what is happening. If I can reproduce the problem, then I should be able to find out why it is not working.

Or perhaps I misunderstood and it works when you check the Regular expressions option (which you need to do)? Thanks.
