When I enter a string of spaces in the "Replace With" box, one (or more) tab (\t) character(s) get inserted in the document. How can I prevent this?

Note: The "Regular Expression" box is checked

Thank you

Thanks BenJosephs

BTW: Why wasn't a notification that you replied to my question e-mailed to me?

How do I replace the '.' (period) character with the regular expression \n (new line)?

If my document contains tab characters (\t), I want to retain the tabs.

Why would I tick ("set") "Convert new tabs to spaces".

Will that prevent tab characters when replacing the "Find What" term with spaces?

Now, I see it Code: |- General |- File |- Editor |- View v· Document Classes | v· Default | | |- Colors | | |- Font | | |- Printing | | |- Syntax | | |- Tabulation | >· Binary On the Tabulation page: The Default tab spacing value = 8 The Indent size = 8 The Convert new tabs to spaces is not ticke ...

None of the Document Classes have a Tabulation category.

In the Configure step, under what <Class> do I find the Tabulation menu?

When I click "Replace All", only ONE occurrence is replaced.

The only way ALL occurrences are replaced is when I do Edit/Select All first then click "Replace all"

What am I doing wrong?

The "Find what" string contains any character(s) The "Replace with" string contains spaces (i.e., made by pressing the spacebar) Under "Conditions", only "Text" is selected Under "Scope" only "Active Document" is selected When I click "Replace", "Replace Next" or "Replace All", the found string is ...

I can't reproduce the issue today.

Yesterday, I downloaded and installed version 8.9.0. Maybe it fixed the problem?

I'll continue trying your suggestion.

I will let you know if the problem recurs.

Which settings in Configuration/Preferences need to be changed?

Wow!

Another very useful process!

Doing Search > Next Bookmark and typing the characters I want inserted at the beginning of the line will insert the characters on that line ONLY.

I'd have to repeat typing the characters on each of the other bookmarked lines.

(I don't know how to record and multi-play a macro).

Once I've bookmarked lines, is there any way to insert characters at the beginning of the line so the text gets moved to the right?

Not by using Edit/Fiil Block
