Re: replaceText problem

I found the problem. This was during the course of updating the RegEx Builder stack and there was code in there to put "(" before the regex if it didn't start with "(" and also to put ")" after the regex if it wasn't already there. In the above regex, that resulted in putting "(" before the regex

Yeah, the regexbuilder is one of the plugins. Didn't know you could start the builder from find, will have to poke around. It would be very cool if someone (he says whistling nonchalantly and looking at the floor) updated the regex builder. On Tue, Jan 6, 2015 at 8:34 PM, Peter Haworth wrote: >

Hi Kay, To be honest, I've been through so many iterations of this that I don't remember for sure if the command I cited in my post was exactly what I had in the script at the time. I'd be almost certain that I had a "put" in there since I knew it was a function, but it's very possible that the ex

I finally got replaceText working although still not sure why it returned a runtime error. I had to include "(?m)" at the start of the regex in order to to make it work in multiline mode. The "^" at the start of my regex means "start of line" but unless you are in multiline mode, line breaks aren

That would work fine for me since I don't recall ever having anything else on a line that has a breakpoint. I actually hardly ever use that command anyway, only in the circumstances where a red dot breakpoint doesn't trigger which, as others have mentioned, does happen sometimes. Pete lcSQL Softw
