Find/Replace in Files...

[solarian]

I've come across an issue with the "Find/Replace in Files" feature. With the following XML, the regex '<abc>\s*<def>' doesn't match, for some reason, whilst in the normal Find/Replace it does.

Code: Select all

<abc>

<def>test</def></abc>

I suppose there must be some simple answer for this, but I'm baffled. Any ideas?

Hello,

What do you mean it does not match as regex? I did a search on your text content with the regex <abc>\s*<def> in the Find/Replace dialog in Oxygen 10.2 and it matches correctly, that is it highlights

Code: Select all

<abc>

<def>

in the editor. Do you use other version of Oxygen?

What do you mean by normal find/replace? Your search expression is a regex and you must enable the option Regular expression in the Find/Replace dialog.

I'm using OxygenXML 10.2 with Find->Find/Replace in Files... not Find->Find/Replace...

It searches and then comes up with a little window saying "Occurences: 0"

In the Find/Replace in Files dialog the search expressions are applied at line level, that is the match must be on a single line. We have an enhancement request for multi-line search in this dialog as we have in the Find/Replace dialog.

I just noticed that find/replace in files is currently not multi-line. It would be a highly desirable feature for us to have that enhancement request implemented.

Sidenote: It would be equally useful if I could run queries from the xPath Builder across multiple files. Any plans for that?

Thanks!

We have an enhancement request logged in our system.

We will consider that.
