Hi all,
I was trying to use \t to replace e.g a paragraph ending with a tab.
So find $ replace with \t
That does not work.
Nor in combination with ^ or \n (one has to try something ;-) )
I can replace e.a. an character with a tab though.
This is the same in 3.3.4, 3.4.6, 3.5.7, 3.6.2.2
(Testing on Ubuntu/Linux).
So prolly I try something that can't be done (not directly anyway) or
something that should be done in a different way?
thanks for replies,
Cheers,
At first I did not understand what you meant since paragraphs
always end with paragraph breaks. Well they do, but that does not mean
there has to be any punctuation at the end of the paragraph.
Here is what I was able to do: In the search box, I entered .$
(period followed by the dollar sign). This searches paragraphs that end
with a period. In the Replace box, I entered \t. Clicking the Find and
then Replace buttons changed the period to a tab. This is for 3.6.2.2.
I think a possible problem is that you did not enter the ending
punctuation for a paragraph. Probably this will only search for one type
of punctuation mark at a time.
