It's hidden under the options section, but it is there. A separate bug should be filed about the tab order. Matt, Take another look please. I might be doing something wrong, but the only thing hidden under options in my kate search/replace when regular expression is selected is: <quote> From cursor Highlight all Selection only </quote> See: http://www.3111skyline.com/download/openSUSE_bugs/kde4/screenshots/kate-options.jpeg I have been through every option and there is no way to open the RE editor. Ironically, I know that it is possible because I worked through the kde dev tutorial: http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/Using_KXmlGuiWindow built the simple text window and on a lark, typed text into the application and hit ctrl+R. To my amazement, there was the old search and replace dialog, *detached* the way I like it, and *with* a small stripped down regular expression editor. See: http://www.3111skyline.com/download/openSUSE_bugs/kde4/screenshots/kate-RE-editor-tutorial.jpeg However, in my kate, there is *no* way to get this dialog. That's the bug. All I want is this dialog. From the Kate Handbook, it says: Regular Expression If selected, the search string is interpreted as a regular expression. The Add button will be enabled and allows you to add regular expression items to the search pattern from a predefined list. There is NO "Add" button!! See: http://www.3111skyline.com/download/openSUSE_bugs/kde4/screenshots/kate-search-replace-dialog.jpeg Help! Please! I've reopened the bug. Thanks. Another step back for KDE4, this really is unusable, not only the tab stop, but I cannot check the "replace all" option! And there is no regular expression editor, come on! Cann't find them too. So I presume it's or really well hidden or bug. KRegExpEditor is still not completely ported to KDE4. Right now it is in KDE's playground module: http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/playground/utils/kregexpeditor/ Once it's ready, we can integrate it again of course. Btw: Please only one issue per report. Thanks. You want extensions, thats fine. But search & replace works, there is a replace all, there are regex. For any stuff missing, we let this bug open as wish, for sure. SVN commit 1128317 by dfaure: Finally implement support for other back references than \0 in the find/replace dialog. BUGS: 168226 125443 CCBUG: 201057 M +25 -16 findreplace/kreplace.cpp M +19 -4 tests/kreplacetest.cpp WebSVN link: http://websvn.kde.org/?view=rev&revision=1128317 regex is broken in Kate4. Any idea what's going on since 2009-07-22 ? To be more accurate: - regex ok in Kate 4:4.4.5 - regex broken in Kate 4:4.5.0b Dear user, this wish list item is now closed, as it wasn't touched in the last two years and no contributor stepped up to implement it. The Kate/KTextEditor team is very small and we can just try to keep up with fixing bugs. Therefore wishs that show no activity for two years or more will be closed from now on to keep at least a bit overview about 'current' wishs of the users. If you want your feature to be implemented, please step up to provide some patch for it. If you think it is really needed, you can reopen your request, but keep in mind, if no new good arguments are made and no people get attracted to help out to implement it, it will expire in two years again. We have a nice website kate-editor.org that provides all the information needed to contribute, please make use of it. For highlighting improvements our user manual shows how to write syntax definition files. Greetings Christoph |
