Hello!

First of all, thank you for this great editor!

Currently I'm trying to write my frist macros and would like to find and replace some strings:

For example search for: (1) or (2) or (3) and so on...

I would like to replace such a string with: \absatz

So for the moment I'm just trying the Find method and use the following:

document.selection.Find("\(.\)", eeFindNext | eeFindReplaceRegExp);

But that macro "finds" all characters, since only the dot-operator is used. But if I use this regular expression in the replace-dialog it works like it should be. I've tried other combinations in the macro, for instance [0-9] finds all numbers, thats correct, but as soon as I use the blackslash-char, it is simply ignored.

And if - for testing reasons - I search for a simple string that works and would like to replace it with a LaTex-command like \section, the backslash is ignored again even if I use \\section.

Am I doing something completly wrong?

Thanks for any hint.
