Using Find and Replace

From NeoWiki

OpenOffice.org and thus NeoOffice/J use a somewhat convoluted Find-and-Replace syntax. This page will hopefully demystify some of the commonly-used commands.

• Neo/J Help: Search for replacing; text or regular expressions; list of or regular expressions; searching (guide) in Neo/J Help for more detailed info
• Trinity threads on the subject: [1], [2]
• Iannz Find & Replace Macro: http://homepages.paradise.net.nz/hillview/OOo/IannzFindReplace.sxw

Returns/Blank Lines

• standard: check regex box, then fill in ^$ (end of paragraph), $ (end of line)
• there is no way to replace two returns; Iannz's Find & Replace Macro will do this

Tabs

• \t for some strange reason

Etc.
