Bug 222538

Description Kevin Fleischer 2008-03-13 06:15:20 EDT

Add a possibility to find and replace multiple line strings.

i.e.: You have 5 places with this lines of Code

} catch (RuntimeException re) {
	log.error("persist failed", re);
	throw re;
};


And you whant all 5 places look like this:
} catch (RuntimeException re) {
	log.error("persist failed", re);
	throw re;
} finally {
	session.close();
};


An implementation could consist of an 4-5 line high scrollable textbox for the search and replace pattern. Maybe this filds should be inserted in the "Find/Replace" mask on demand (if a checkbox "multiline search" is checked).

This wish could not be substituted by a regex search, because most people can not construct (complex) regex at all.
