Description Maciej Pilichowski 2006-06-20 17:08:28 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.2)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

I try to replace all the 
|
by newlines. The attached file has 175 occurrences of | however kate at first can find only 170 of them. 

Try this at the command line:
%s/\|/\n/g

once, and then again. Attached file is a plain text file, encodings -- CodePage1250.

"175 replacements made"

Worked just fine here (r548000).
Comment 3 Dominik Haumann 2006-06-28 00:09:13 UTC 
Here it only finds 150 (KDE 3.5.3).
Comment 4 Maciej Pilichowski 2006-06-28 10:05:31 UTC 
How can I find out what r-number I have?
Comment 5 Erlend Hamberg 2010-02-15 15:48:25 UTC 
confirmed in kde 4.4. it seems like it gets confused by new lines being added.

a simpler test case:

foo foo
foo

%s/foo/bar/g will only replace the two occurrences on the first line, and not touch the second line (which will be the fourth line after replacing the two “foo”s on the first line)
