# One more cornercase for "Find and Replace". Try to replace multiple

Seems like "Replace" continues the search at the _beginning_ of the
newly inserted text. If the search string is included in the replace
string, we end up in an endless loop.
Might be easy to fix by continuing the search _after_ the replaced
string. ("Find" seems to do it right.)
OK, got that one.
Almost. :) You nailed the case abc -> abcd. But you missed the case abc
-> dabc.
Looks like you continue to search one character after beginn of replaced
text. The proper solution would be to continue the search at the end of
the inserted text (= beginn of the rest of the text).
That code was somewahat complex to say the least, so I've rewritten it
in a far more simple way. From an end user point of view, the only
noticable difference should be that at 'From the Top' search is now
*always* from the top, however, it will automatically switch back to
'From the Cursor' following a successful 'From the Top' search, so
repeatedly pressing Find/Replace will do what you expect.
I'll send you a .exe to test - feedback appreciated as always!
Thanks, Dave
