Oxygen XML Forum

I'm having trouble with searching for regular expressions and 'Find Next'.

I search for a regular expression like: '.'
Oxygen finds and highlights an instance of it: ' '
Then when I try Find Next (or hit F3) it finds the next same string ' ' - not the next match to the regular expression. In the Find dialogue, the "text to find" has changed from '.' to ' '

If I bring up the Find dialogue again and retype the regular expression Oxygen will find the next string matching '.' as expected.

Hello,

This happens because the Find Next action does not read the latest value of the Regular expression checkbox from the dialog but always uses false. You are right, Find Next should remember the latest value of Regular expression and we will fix that in the next version of <oXygen/>. Until then please use only the dialog for regular expression searches.

Thank you,
