Extract not available in Search > Find in Files

[spiros]

It would be useful to be able to use extract on multiple files.

The Extract button is available in Find in Files dialog box. Are you using the latest version of EmEditor?

It is in Find, but not in Replace (so one cannot enter a replacement to be run when extracting). On the other hand, on the standard Replace dialog, Extract also appears in Replace.

The Replace in Files dialog box does NOT include the Extract button. You can use the Find in Files dialog box to open all files containing the search string first, and then use the Replace dialog with the Search All Documents in the Group option.

Is there any reason why this could not be added as a feature since it already exists in the standard dialog? I mean, it is not that practical to open 1000s of files in order to be able to run the extract regex.
