[libreoffice-users] "reverse solidus" not working in the find dialog box
Good afternoon from Japan Actually, I have asked about this in 2018 and a number of things were suggested. Unfortunately none did solve the problem. Problem: I have a long file with about 3,500 lines (each line = item) looking like: HKES 良知良能 [りょうちりょうのう] /(n) xx/ where I would like to replace the "space[" and "]space" with tabs so that I can import the file into Calc. However, working with Japanese Windows 10, Japanese keyboard etc. NOTHING I tried so far allowed me to enter a \t (=> THIS is supposed to be a backslash) as a regular expression, telling the computer to replace the space[ with a tab. Question: Is there a trick telling the computer to replace any key sequence with a tab? Thank you. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: https://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ Privacy Policy: https://www.documentfoundation.org/privacy

Not sure if the utf-8 characters will go thru with this, but hopefully it does get thru in some fashion.

If the \ is not available on your keyboard, you can insert it in a text document in Writer by using the character map. It is at decimal 92.

Hi Thomas, additions: Are you sure \ is not on your keyboard? If I switch to a Japanese keyboard layout, I see a \ as left most key in the lower row and as right most key in the middle row. You can install an additional language in Windows and then you can switch the keyboard layout.

Re: [libreoffice-users] "reverse solidus" not working in the find dialog box
Hi Thomas, and another try: In the 'Find' field call the context menu. That is a right click or Context-menu key on the key board. Choose 'Special Character'. The Reverse Solidus is at code point U+5c. That is is group "Basic Latin". I don't know whether a Japanese LibreOffice has a shortcut for the 'Special Character' dialog. In an English LibreOffice it would be 'Ctrl+Shift+S'.

THAT does not work either. * I just tried to find simply "[" (without the quotes). * Unchecking "Regular expressions" DOES find the brackets, but then inserts "\t[" (where the \ is a backslash). But that is not what I want .. and not helpful. Does this really have to be so difficult? In the hope, there IS a way to accomplish this. Thank you.
