I'm wondering if this is somehow by design or was hard to implement or simply missed out. I do this:</p> <ol> <li>Select some text with ALT (rectangular).</li> <li>Push CTRL+R (replace).</li> <li>Change e.g. "pn" to "pnote"</li> <li>Hit Replace All</li> </ol> <p>Then all occurrences in between the first selection start and last selection start are replaced. Not sure if this is clear.</p> <p>Before (bolded selection):<br /> <strong>pn.</strong>Something("pnotes", "pn2")<br /> <strong>sct</strong>.Blah("pn", "blah")<br /> <strong>pn.</strong>SomethingElse("blah", "pn")</p> <p>After:<br /> pnote.Something("pnoteotes", "pnote2")<br /> sct.Blah("pnote", "blah")<br /> pnote.SomethingElse("blah", "pn")</p> <p>So a bug or expected? </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/598#post-8013 Wed, 15 Jun 2011 00:54:06 +0000 swbrains 8013@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>+1 </p> <p>But I'd like to see it operate on a specified folder/subfolders -- not only with open files. Often I have dozens of files in a project to do a replacement across, and I'd rather not have to open all of them just for the replacement function. This is a blocking issue for me right now in my quest for the perfect editor. </p> <p>Otherwise, I like what I've seen in an hour of eval! </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/598#post-8006 Sun, 12 Jun 2011 05:32:30 +0000 RaphaelDDL 8006@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>+1 yearly bump:<br /> 2.2.0.2240-ellington yet not available for Find/Replace multiple files </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/5122#post-7841 Sat, 16 Apr 2011 10:37:49 +0000 CoDEmanX 7841@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>Never tried myself, but powergrep's website states it supports almost every encoding (unicode, koi8, dos, linux codepages...) and also many popular binary formats like if they were pure text (office files, PDF, zip...) </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/5122#post-7840 Sat, 16 Apr 2011 08:37:00 +0000 Nux 7840@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>Astrogrep seem to be way worse then ReplaceText.

Not sure if I ever seen such preview. But if you use source control or have some diff tool (like the one in Total Commander) then I don't think this would be a problem.

As somewhat a follower of ProsNpad &amp; its RegEx Find and Replace functionality, I noticed in recent changelog reports that the RegEx has been updated. I thought it might be of help to report my experience while using Replace with regular expressions attempting to dissect some of what's going on in the <em>YUI</em>(1) JavaScript library component, yahoo-dom-event.js</p> <p>Most of the time, everything works great (e.g. i often turn to ProsNpad for regular expression operations. for curiosity, i've done some amount of testing for differences between PN, other Scintilla-based editors, .NET-based editors, etc.), and I've been successful with it in some instances where i experienced difficulty with other editors (i.e. it's amazing the variance between different "flavors", as implemented in editors [to quote the Regex Buddy author's texts])</p> <p>One of the several expressions I've used, is shown below-- it's one of a few which caused the unexpected result:<br /> Match Expression:<br /> <code>(return[ \S]+;)(})(?=\S)­­</code><br /> Replace Expression:<br /> <code>\n\1\n\2\n\3</code><br /> The unexpected result follows:<br /> <strong><em>Before</em>:</strong><br /> <pre><code>if(this.__yui_events){ if(this.__yui_events[A]){ return true;}} return false;}};(function(){</code></pre> <p><strong><em>After</em>:</strong><br /> <pre><code>if(this.__yui_events){ if(this.__yui_events[A]){ return true; } \\} return false;}};(function(){</code></pre> <p>Programmer's Notepad had previously executed a Replacement Expression successfully on 650+ items in that same file, just as i wanted without error.
