Calc ICU lib regexp search/replace are a bit less "global" than ICU regexp searches in Writer. And there is also "match" mode for wildcard and interoperability with Excel XLS and XLSX sheet formats. [1][2][3] In other words, full document search and replace with ICU lib regular expressions *already* works by default in all modules. With the F&R dialog offering an "off" mode toggle in Writer or Calc While the "Replace" field of the F&R dialog does not directly execute the regexp. The comment "will work only within one paragraph..." in the help article (par_id3153414) should have been removed when Wildcard content was reworked for bug 142574 [4]. A broader rework of regexp (more seamless use) is in see also bug 38261. IMHO this bug reports a documentation issue. =-ref-= [1] https://books.libreoffice.org/en/CG24/CG2402-EnteringandEditingData.html#toc72 [2] https://books.libreoffice.org/en/WG75/WG7503-TextAdvanced.html#toc15 [3] https://help.libreoffice.org/24.8/en-US/text/swriter/guide/search_regexp.html?DbPAR=WRITER [4] https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/help/+/120573 Referenced Bugs: https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=146076 [Bug 146076] [META] Find & Replace Regular Expressions -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
