I'm trying to do a search and replace using regular expressions on a

:-P I
am working on tab-delimited files, and am trying to insert a string into
the beginning of each of the cells. In all the other programs I use,
this
is done by using:
Search: ^
Replace: string
But this claims that there were no results found.
Instead, I thought I could do this:
Search: ^(.)
Replace: String \1
You should be able to do so.
But then I just get huge amounts of "String \1" in each cell, sometimes
only one, sometimes 3 or more occurances of that string into a cell.
That sounds as if you are not using regular expressions. Have you made
sure that Regular Expressions and current selection are both checked in
the More section?
Yes, I have verified that I have both those settings checked when
searching. Actually, the program, predictably, does nothing when this is
not the case.
