Inconsistent regular expression behavior with Find/Replace

[Frank Ralf]

Hi,

I've noticed that the regular expressions do behave differently in Find/Replace within a single file and Find/Replace in Files, most notably the behavior of a point "." As the "Dot matches all" option (Perl's /s modifier) is missing from Find/Replace in Files this makes quite cumbersome to write a regex which spans multiple lines in the source code.

Is there a workaround or do I have to use another editor for more complex regex find/replace operations across multiple files? It would be great, if Find/Replace in Files would provide the same options as the usual Find/Replace.

Kind regards,
Frank
