Multi Replace 2.3


 

Wildcards


    You can use wildcard characters if you are not sure of the spelling of your search term to expand your search.
Any single character matches itself, unless it is a wildcard with a special meaning described below. A series of characters matches that series of characters in the target string, so the pattern "test" would match "test'' in the target string.
Beside that you can use wildcards or escape sequences to be interpreted literally by 'escaping' them by preceding them with a backslash "\", for instance: metacharacter "*" match any charachter set, but "\*" match character "*", "\\" match "\" and so on.
So, Multi Replace supports this wildcards:
* - any character set;
? - any character;
[] - one character from an indicated set (For example: [ab] - a or b, [c-e] - c,d or e);
\ - cancel of command character (For example: \* - character "*", \? - character "?", [\[\]] - character "[" or character "]").
   You can to insert special symbols to the search expression from context menu. Just make right click on "Search for" and choose symbol or set of symbols, that you need.
