Searching for files with regex ">\n" fails I've been trying to search for files containing the following regular expression:
But it always fails, apparently with a silently swallowed exception. I am using EmEditor 10.0.4 64-bit on Windows 7 Professional. The problem seems to be always reproducible. Could you please check it out? |

Re: Searching for files with regex ">\n" fails Search for:

Re: Searching for files with regex ">\n" fails It works, thanks. It would be nice if this could be done automatically based on each file's newline pattern. For now I'll use "(?:\n|\r\n)", but I hope EmEditor can integrate this feature.
Thanks again. |

Re: Searching for files with regex ">\n" fails Thanks for the suggestion, but it wouldn't work for me, as I need to capture the newline character itself, as I'm trying to find consecutive empty lines.

Re: Searching for files with regex ">\n" fails This should work: (?m)\}$\r?\n$\r?\n^O
Except it appears that EmEditor doesn't support ANY Regex options: (?m), (?i), (?-i), (?g), (?-g) Quote: \}$\r?\n$\r?\n^O in Ted's Notepad for instance, will match: Quote: } In EmEditor you cannot use multiple "^" or "$", or else it it wrongly errors out with a message about invalid regex. E.G. this works: \}\r?\n\r?\nO I use ?m), ?-i) and ?-g) all the time in AHK scripts, and (?-i) and (?-g) in Total Commander's multi-rename tool. |

Re: Searching for files with regex ">\n" fails Will support be added to EmEditor for the features CrashNBurn mentions (eg. multiple ^ and $, and (?m), (?i) etc.) ?
