Hi,
You've used a character class (between [ and ]. Don't use character classes, because it will match everything that contains a character from that class.

Subject: Regular Expression Thickness Again




Hi,
I put builtin.jsd into EdSharp. I want to swap the first word on every line with the rest of the line if that line begins with either the word function 
or the word script.

My search expression is this.
(^[function|script])(.*$)

My replacement expression is this.
\2\1

When I execute the replacement operation, the whole line disappears. What
did I do wrong?

Thanks.

Jim
