In former times we were used to do this like follows: highlight the space hit Apple ALT + E (now the space is in the replace of the find) then highlight what you want to replace - in your case the _ and Apple + E , and now highlight the part, where you want to search and replace and then hit Apple Alt + = This is not working any more, because BBEdit is replace all occurrences of the _ :-( BareBones decided one day, to remove some features from the Find Dialog. Nobody understood why and I am regretting these features until today ... marek -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "BBEdit Talk" discussion group on Google Groups.
