Trouble Recording a Macro

[kengrubb]

I am trying to record a Macro, but it is partially failing at Step 6.

In Step 6, I want to change any slash (\) to Latin small letter y with diaeresis (ÿ) on the theory that I will never encounter ÿ in my daily work.

By itself, either recorded in Macro or not, any of the follow works and does the same thing.

RE Replace \\ to \xFF
RE Replace \\ to ÿ
Replace \ to ÿ

However, I cannot figure out how to get it recorded in a Macro. The slash (\) just disappears as though I changed it to nothing.

If I can run a Macro while recording a Macro, I could record a Simple Macro that only does Step 6, and then use that Simple Macro in my Ãœber Macro.

Step 1 - Clear All Bookmarks
Step 2 - RE Find Mark All ^\h*$
Step 3 - Delete Bookmarked Lines
Step 4 - RE Replace \h+$ to nothing
Step 5 - RE Replace ^\h+ to nothing
Step 6 - RE Replace \\ to \xFF
Step 7 - Replace . to \.
Step 8 - Replace [ to \[
Step 9 - Replace ] to \]
Step 10 - Replace { to \{
Step 11 - Replace } to \}
Step 12 - Replace ( to \(
Step 13 - Replace ) to \)
Step 14 - Replace * to \*
Step 15 - Replace + to \+
Step 16 - Replace ? to \?
Step 17 - Replace | to \|
Step 18 - Replace ^ to \^
Step 19 - Replace $ to \$
Step 20 - RE Replace \xFF to \\
Step 21 - RE Replace \n to |
Step 22 - Hit Home
Step 23 - Type ^(
Step 24 - Hit End
Step 25 - Type )$
Step 26 - Hit Ctrl-A
Step 27 - Hit Ctrl-C
Step 28 - Hit Home
