PSPad seems to be my dream come true in editors - and it's free(!), but I
have an annoying problem replacing text. I have a long dropdown list in
Outlook which i need to edit and sort, so I paste it into PSPad. The text
goes something like this:
item1;item3;item4;item2;item6;item5

I want the items one on each line, so I search for ";", replace with
"\n", use regex, Direction "Entire Scope" and Scope: "Global" and
end up with this:
item1
item3
item4;item2;item6;item5

After one more try:
item1
item3
item4
item2
item6;item5
And it actually reports that 5 replacements were made. 

I am used to TextPad, and there it works flawlessly - am I doing something
wrong here or is it a bug?

(And after editing and sorting, I want to replace "\n" with ";", and
that  doesn't seem to work either. "\n not found")
