|
|
<p>medit uses regular expressions functionality provided by Glib, which in turn uses
|
|
<a href="http://pcre.org/">PCRE</a> library. See
|
|
<a href="http://library.gnome.org/devel/glib/stable/glib-regex-syntax.html">Glib manual</a>
|
|
for complete description of regular expression syntax.
|
|
|
|
<p>Regular expression searches in a document text are limited to single lines, unless the
|
|
search pattern includes newline character. For example, pattern "<code>.*</code>" will match every
|
|
line in the document, pattern "<code>.*\n.*</code>" will match pairs of consecutive lines. This means
|
|
that it is mostly impossible to perform searches for text which spawns multiple lines.
