 | Hi;
I am using VSE 9.04 on both windows and linux.
I often have to clean up some poorly formatted code before I can fix
some problems. Often several statements are on the same line making
the code unreadable.
I would like to do a search on some symbol like ';' and replace it with
";\r\n" but that doesn't work. I get the literals instead of real
newlines or returns.
Any ideas on how I could make that work with search/replace, put real
returns everywhere there is a certain symbol?
Thanks in advance

Okay. I figured it out.
I checked the "reg ex box"
and then just put in a '\n' literal.
It worked on windows, I haven't tried it on linux yet.

| OK, what works for me (using Visual SlickEdit RE's), quotes used for clarity, omit when specifying the strings:
- Search for ';'
- Replace with '\13\10'
- use SlickEdit Regular Expressions
Using Unix/Brief RE's it may be something different.
HTH,
Johan

| Hi,
I usually use a macro for that, searching for ';' and then do a 'split-line'. The Macro-recorder is more than sufficient.
As for "search and replace", I'd have to take a look. BBS
