== Regular expressions ==[regex]
|
|
|
|
Medit uses regular expressions functionality provided by Glib, which in turn uses
|
|
[PCRE http://pcre.org/] library. See [Glib manual http://library.gnome.org/devel/glib/stable/glib-regex-syntax.html]
|
|
for complete description of regular expressions syntax.

=== Search ===[regex-search]
|
|
|
|
Regular expression searches in a document text are limited to single lines, unless the
|
|
search pattern includes newline. For example, pattern ".*" will match every line in the
|
|
document, pattern ".*\n.*" will match pairs of consecutive lines. This means that it is
|
|
mostly impossible to perform searches for text which spawns multiple lines.
