Thanks for your replies! If you please could suggest a replacement expression for putting, say, brackets around (a few lines of) selected text. Or just a find string to match any selected text. Sorry for unintended confusion. I looked for an alternative to \& in a wrong place: Replacement Format ...

Example:

1. Not working.
   Find:

   Code: Select all

   $0

   Replace with:

   Code: Select all

   [$&]

   \& will still be matched in new syntax, only for text without line breaks.
2. Old syntax.
   Find:

   Code: Select all

   \&

   Replace with:

   Code: Select all

   [&]

P.S. No folding functions in TextPad?
