multi-line search and replace

D

Drew Henderosn

I need to search and replace several lines of html text
with new multi-line html text through and entire web.

The Front page search & replace function seems to be
written for "one liners" only. Is there a method of coding
a multi-line search and replace using the Frontpage "search
and replace" tool. When I say coding I mean formating the
CR chararters in multi-line html text.

Correct, not possible in versions below FP2003.

You need FP2003 for this.

In FP2003, you can search for regular expressions such as
<body>[\s\n]+</body> where

\s means any white space character
\n means a new line character
[\s\n] means either a white space or new line character
[\s\n]+ means one or more white space or new line
characters.
