Description Lance Haverkamp 2011-06-22 00:49:58 UTC
Find hard carriage return with the Find/Replace tool does not work.

This used to work in at least some older versions of OOo.  
Check regular expressions, enter $ or \N, no results are ever found.

Soft carriage returns (\n) *are* found, just not hard ones.

Thanks,
Lance

Platform: SLED 11 sp1 i586
build info: Libreoffice 3.4 release

The $ and \n works properly for 3.4 build.
Comment 2 Lance Haverkamp 2011-06-22 08:55:07 UTC
Thanks for the info Yifan,

Somewhat confirmed...It now works going forwards.  Now, I'm not sure if anyone would ever *want* to find/replace $ going backwards, but that currently does not work.

Stripping-out multiple carriage returns also fails:

Finding ${2,8} returns nothing

This bug was filed before the changes to Bugzilla on 2011-10-16. Thus it
started right out as NEW without ever being explicitly confirmed. The bug is
changed to state NEEDINFO for this reason. To move this bug from NEEDINFO back
to NEW please check if the bug still persists with the 3.5.0 beta1 or beta2 prereleases.
Details on how to test the 3.5.0 beta1 can be found at:
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/BugHunting_Session_3.5.0.-1

In 3.6.1 on Fedora 64 bit:
search with $ works correctly, replacing - not. For example enter one line of text, several empty lines, another line. Then replace all occurrences of $ to empty line. Appears two lines in result, but should be one.

search with ${2,8} not works. And $* not works

** Please read this message in its entirety before responding **

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present on a currently supported version of LibreOffice (4.3.5 or later): https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the version of LibreOffice and your operating system, and any changes you see in the bug behavior

If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a short comment that includes your version of LibreOffice and Operating System

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not appropriate in this case)

Thank you for your help!

It is still impossible to search & replace multiple hard carriage returns (blank lines)  Search for ^$^$ returns zero results; I believe OOo used to search for this using \N\N  which also does not work in LibreOffice.

Now using Version: 4.3.5.2 on Xunubtu.
