--- Comment #13 from [email protected] --- (In reply to V Stuart Foote from comment #12) thanks Stuart for the feedback, > ... not sure we > yet have quite the correct wording about Regexp matches and Paragraphs. > > "A search using a regular expression will work only within one paragraph. > That is, a \n will match a line break within a paragraph." > > We can in fact match a string in *every* paragraph of a document in one pass. yes. what I'm trying to say, is a regex can't cross OVER the paragraph boundary (see attachment) feel free to suggest a better wording of course. > We just can't match strings at the Paragraph bounds, e.g. a Paragraph ending > with xyz$ or starting with ^abc huh? we definitely can! see 2nd attachment) the only limitation is for "^" to be followed by something, example given in the help. > (needing to implement support look-ahead / > look-behind syntax to be able to construct a pattern to match).
