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

test.test.test.com

replaced with

testest1

when my search text is test.test.test.com and the replacement is testest1 ?

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 [email protected] 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: testest1

Expected result: testest1

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!
