Hi Rick

Thanks for your reply. I guess it's a half-implementation, then...sigh.

Hi Roger,

FrameMaker 11 doesn't support wildcards on the replacement side. FrameMaker
12 supports regular expressions on Find and Change sides.

Subject: Wildcard search

Hello All

I'm using FrameMaker 11.

I have a document containing a lot of number ranges that use a hyphen
instead of an en-dash; for example, 1-3. I'd like to replace the hyphen
while preserving the preceding and following numbers.

In Word I'd use a wildcard search for ([0-9])-([0-9]) and replace with
\1-\2, where \1 and \2 represent the values in the parentheses (and sorry, I
can't type an en-dash in this message). When I try this with FM it doesn't
find anything.

How do you preserve the values in FM?

Thanks.

Roger Shuttleworth
