Hi, I want to take a group of lines. I don't care what they contain. I want to put a left bracket in front of them and a right bracket at the end. The thing I tried didn't work. My search expression is: ^(.*)$ My replacement expression is: \[\1\] I get only a set of brackets with a space between them. Jim Jim Homme, Usability Services, Phone: 412-544-1810.
