Many Thanks Josiah! I would appreciate your time teaching us how to use regexp in Tiddlywiki and specially here with SNR2. For the issue you mentioned, I could not find any solution and Jeremy comments did not help me to understand what I should do!
By the way, I thought it is better to choose the flag from interface, so I am adding i: ignore case g: find all (global match) \b: whole words m: multi line mode So, user can select one or a mixed of them (of course \b is something separate here!) I am not sure if m is useful here, but i and g are used frequently! --Mohammad On Wednesday, March 6, 2019 at 5:10:19 PM UTC+3:30, @TiddlyTweeter wrote: > > Mohammad & all interested > > I have done a lot of testing of "s-n-r2".
