Feedback / Submit an idea don't Work (Page not found) || Multiline Regular Expression Search

Hi Dirk,

This Forum is now the feedback system!

Edge Code CC is a re-branding of the Brackets Project. I thought there was a card for that feature in the Brackets Product Backlog , but I didn't see it in a quick search. You're welcome to add your vote for any features there, or file a new issue if you can't find it.

Thanks for your feedback,

Randy

Hi Dirk,

Thanks for reporting the broken links -- we'll look into that.  As Randy said, you're welcome to just post suggestions & issues here in the forum, though.

Regarding multiline regexp search: that is possible in Edge Code, with some limitations:

• To search multiple files, use the Find in Files command, and then use any regexp containing "\n" -- it will match the newlines correctly.
• To search a single file, right-click the file and chose "Find In..." (it will behave like Find in Files, but limited to that one file)
• Caveat: you can't use the multiline $/^ anchors in your regexp
• Caveat: there's no workaround for using the Replace command with multiline regexps

The latest Brackets release 0.41 fixes both the caveats listed above -- though you'll still have to use the "Find In..." workaround (or "Replace In..." for Replace).  We eventually plan to further improve this -- you can watch the full multiline search/replace item on our feature backlog for updates.

Hope that helps,

- Peter
