Hi Klaus...
Definitely a bug in that the handling of "\n" is inconsistent. But I'd
wonder what "\n" is really matching on, and what type of "end of line"
is it? Will this match on a forced return (SHIFT+ENTER) as well as an
end of paragraph? And what about the end of flow? I'd feel better if
"\n" didn't match on anything since I don't know that this really
applies in a FM document. What about trying "$" to indicate an end of line?
Definitely a bug though.

Friends of FramMaker, please judge.
I want to find incorrectly ended paragraphs (missing punctuation).
For example the following 4 lines are paragraphs, the first 2 correct,
the next two incorrect:
This is the first paragraph!
And this is the second one.
And here a third
And a fourth one:
RegEx Find/Replace with these settings:
Find: ([^\.!?])\n
Repl: $1.\n
Result: find is correct, replacement is n instead of paragraph end
With repl = $1.\r replacement is a forced newline; correct, but not
wanted.
Find: ([^\.!?])(\n)
Repl: $1.$2
This creates a correct replacement!
IMHO the behaviour of not honoring \n as an 'end of paragraph' for the
replacement is
a bug. Do You agree?
