replace – EmEditor (Text Editor)

Please also store the advanced regex configuration when add a replace to batch.

When save a replace to batch, could you please also store the “advanced” configuration of this replacement, such as which regex engine is being used and whether dot matches newline etc. Users could change the advanced regex configuration between replaces and if they store these replaces to batch, the configuration should be stored, too.

Thanks!

Search Functionality Improvement Suggestion: Allow Multiple Findings Highlighted

ArthurZ — Fri, 01 Mar 2019 16:18:22 +0000

Hi there,
Unless it is lurking somewhere in the settings, I am missing badly the Notepad++ feature that highlights all the found strings, hence is my search functionality improvement suggestion –
allow multiple found strings highlighted after search /replace.
Thanks

Find/Replace should have a checkbox to ignore comments

So many editors lack this intuitive feature! If I want to search for a string in code, I might want to find it only in the code, not within comments. It should be easy: don’t search anything that’s colored as a comment according to the Highlight (2) options.

"Replace All" search whole document while "In the Selection Only" is checked

Starting from EmEditor 16, “Replace All” search whole document while “In the Selection Only” is checked.
If the search string (eg. “\n”) is very common and the document is large, it take a while to update the scrollbar marker.
After that it take a while to update the scrollbar marker for every character you type.

Block of Text Search and Replace Functionality Missing

Hi,
As far as I can see, there is no way for the search input box to accept a block of formatted text and allow me to execute a substitution.
An example would be to replace
if found then
country := ‘USA’;
RETURN country;
end if;
with
if found then
country := ‘USA’;
RETURN country;
end if;
to
IF NOT FOUND THEN
country := ”;
state_code := ”;
RETURN NEXT;
END IF;
