I have a replace that when I run it agaist the test file it works perfectly.
I then try to run the replace against the same file "for real" and I don't get any matches.
Is this normal? Why would it work in test and not in "live" mode?
Thanks,
Stuart

I am trying to do a traditional find/replace without using regular expressions. When I do this in the test tab, it works. Then when I actually run it, no files are changed. I am presuming the find isn't working.
Here are teh settings have turned on:
Character Encoding: Windows-1252 (I have also tried ISO-8859-1).
Search Sub-Folders are checked and unchecked as I test, no other settings checked.
In the options Literal line break characters I have tried both windows/dos and unix.
Here is example of the code I am looking for:
I copied this find code from the test file.
the test file when viewed from the test file window looks like this.
If I open the HTML file in Textpad it looks like this:
I assume I should use the Test File format that is displayed in the window of WildEdit to do my finds, but I am not sure.
Thanks,
Stuart

The text in the Test window is not the same as the text in your file. The test text consists of a single line, while the file text consists of 100 lines.
Copy the text from the file directly into the test window (not via a browser), and copy the multi-line part of it that you want to search for into the Find what window.
