------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sat Feb 11 05:57:05 -0800 2006 ------- I've attached my proposal to this problem (only for writer for now). Since this is my first patch, I don't know that much about hacking OOo. So while the code does what I want (using \n in replace string inserts the content of the nth bracket), it might not please everyone. And at some places I'm not even sure how to handle the one or another situation (How should '\x' in the replace string be treated? since it hasn't any special meaning. Or how should '\4' in the replace string be handled if there's no capture group 4?). Besides adding the ability to use \1, \2 a.s.o. in the replace string, I also removed the special meaning of & (in text replace, not in attribute or format replace) since this is non standard and unexpected (although documented behaviour). Instead \0 now does the same trick and is more straightforward. Also something like '\\\t' now works as I'd expect: '\'0x09. Formerly it resulted in the string '\\t'. I didn't try implementing \s as placeholder for whitespace. This would have required hacking the regex lib (OOo uses a modified version of the GNU regular expression library 0.12 which also misses some advanced features like non greedy quantifiers) quite deep. IMHO this should be better some other bug. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
