------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sun Nov 4 10:06:56 +0000 2007 ------- >From the regex wiki HowTo: "^$ will match an empty paragraph, which can be replaced by say nothing, in order to remove the empty paragraph. Note that ^red$ matches a paragraph with only 'red' in it - replacing this with nothing leaves an empty paragraph - the paragraph marks at either end are not replaced. It may help to regard ^$ on its own as a special syntax, unique to OOo. Unfortunately, because OOo has taken over this syntax, it seems you cannot use ^$ to find empty cells in a table (nor empty Calc cells)." We ought to be able to find empty table cells, hence this enhancement request. I guess this might be destined for the Great Regex Rethink when and if that happens. (Note that issue 44688 is about this behaviour in Calc. I raise this as a new issue, because the response to issue 44688 is that the behaviour is by design and otherwise might cause performance troubles - there is no such worry here with Writer table cells.) --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
