Old sudden close of TP bug resurfaced

mo · Post by mo » Sat Apr 17, 2004 12:36 pm

Hello,

This came up some time ago under different circumstances:

I opened a bunch of files +10
Using Search and Replace Regular Expressions Posix

I copied and pasted a multi-line search into the search for
and did the same for the replace
then to test the regex I located the cursor at the top of the page and clicked find next.

Zap TextPad closed no save nothing.

Just so I can try it out, could you post your multi-line s&r? The basic structure should do.
Using "Active document" and/or "Match case"? The average size of your files?
I just went through your routine using this one (multi-liner w/replace) with no problems.

Hello,

There were 20 open files of about 20Kb each. Active Document, Match Case. Find Next. Boink. I know I hadn't set up the search for properly with escapes, etc. but I was just starting out testing on one only of the documents.

Search for:

<script type="text/javascript1.1">

</script>
</head>

<body>

<script type="text/javascript">

</script>



<hr>

<div class="ctr">
<table class="ltb" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%">
<tr class="ltb">
<td class="nbdltbg" width="33%">
<a href="../../index.htm"><img src="../../images/design_elements/home_sm.jpg" width="132" height="28" alt="Home"></a>
</td>
<td class="nbdltbg">
<p> </p>
</td>
<td class="nbdltbg" width="232">
<form style="margin-bottom: 0; background-color: #f7e6ce; border: 1px solid #cc6600" method="get" action="http://localhost/cgi-bin/fdsearch/search/search.cgi">
<p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0">
<input name="Terms" size="24" style="border-style: solid; border-color: #cc6600">
<input type="image" src="../../images/design_elements/searchbutton2.gif" align="top" name="submit" alt="submit" width="39" height="23"></p>
</form>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>

Replace with:

</head>

<body>

Hmm, I can only paste the first 1024 bytes of that, ends with the ""../../images/design_elements/".
Using that, it's working ok. Using TP472/XPsp1.

Thanks s-r...I started a little early this morning on this...I suspect I have a little ribbing to come on this which on reflection looks like it would crash anything.

Hi mo

I just did a Search/Replace with no problem. BUT....I had to turn POSIX OFF. Other wise it was hanging on the function parentheses () because I did not include the backslashes in the Search string.

Unlike s_reynisson, I was able to paste the entire 41 lines into Search, It did not truncate.

Using version 4.7.2 on WIN98ME system.
