Bug ID: 429876
Summary: Inconsistency with regexp matching whole line in
search and replace
Product: kate
Version: 20.08.2
Platform: Ubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: search
Assignee: kwrite-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: trufano...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
It seems the "(.*)" regexp matches each line two times (whole line and \n) if
it's searched with Ctrl+R and only ones (whole line with \n) if it's searched
via Ctrl+Alt+F. Which is inconsistent.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create a new file
2. Type in 2 lines:
"
file1
file2
"
3. Press Ctrl+R
4. Set Find field to "(.*)" to match whole string
5. Set Replace field to "mv \1 ./folder/" to move both file1 and file2 to
subfolder.
6. Set Mode: to Regular expression.
7. Press "Find All" then "Replace All".
OBSERVED RESULT
Text after replacement:
"
mv file1 ./folder/mv ./folder/
mv file2 ./folder/mv ./folder/
"
EXPECTED RESULT
Text after replacement:
"
mv file1 ./folder/
mv file2 ./folder/
"

TAB ( Ctrl+Alt+F) the result will be as expected. Which is misleading.
