Why if I have the escape sequence set to on in the replace dialog I get text

Quote:
replaced with

Quote:

when my search text is test.test.test.com and the replacement is test\est1 ?

According to the help card only the following are treated as escape sequences:

\a Warning (Bell)
\b Backspace
\f Form feed
\n New line
\t Horizontal tab
\v Vertical tab
\\ Backslash
\oooooo Unicode character in octal notation
\xhhhh Unicode character in hexadecimal notation

Hi ArthurZ,

I am sorry I didn't understand your question.
Can you please try to rewrite with a simple sample, or you can email me at tech@emurasoft.com with samples.

Thanks!

1) Copy-paste the text:
test.test.test.com
into a new text file.
2) Have the search-replace dialog set to use the option "Use Escape Sequence" on.
3) Attempt to replace the text with: test\est1

Expected result: test\est1

The actual result: testest1

I see. So it doesn't have to be "test.test.test.com", right?

\e is not defined, so undefined escape sequences should not be used. Please use "\\e" instead.

Thanks!
