Hi Jacky, What happens if you use \n\n\n for the first expression? Jim -----Original Message----- From: program-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:program-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Jackie McBride Sent: Friday, October 26, 2012 4:51 PM To: program-l Subject: [program-l] EdSharp & transform file Have u guys checked out how powerful this editor actually is? I mean--seriously! But I'm having a problem. The transform file is supposed to contain 3 lines per task: 1) a comment; 2) the regular expression to search on; & 3) the substitution. So, my code looks like: remove > 2 line feeds \n{3,} \n\n It doesn't work. It says 0 matches. Any1 got any ideas why? For those who might be a bit fuzzy regarding regular expressions, \\n{3,} means remove 3 or more consecutive line feeds. The weird thing is that when I press control shift r to do this as a regular expression search-&-replace, it works as expected. Am I doing something wrong, or might this be a problem for Jamal? -- Blame the computer--why not?
