Hi, We added the support for spanning multiple lines with a regular expression in Find/Replace in Files in Oxygen 14.0. So if you use an older version of Oxygen the regular expression that contains (\s+) will find only the matches that span one line, that is it will not match the end-of-line character. You did not specify your Oxygen version but I think it is older than 14.0. I checked in Oxygen 13.2 and this feature was not present, it is a new feature of version 14.0. If you do not use version 14.0 please upgrade. Regards, Sorin Yves Barbion wrote:
Hi Sorin
I have checked all the options in the Find/Replace in Files dialog box and I have also included a screen shot in the attached ZIP file.
Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Hi,
Please check all the values in the Find/Replace in Files dialog box: scope should be "Current DITA map hierarchy", file filter should be *.dita (or *.xml), etc. If all values are correct in the dialog box please send a sample DITA topic file that should be found by the find action but is not found and also specify the search string that you used.
Regards, Sorin

Hi Sorin
Thank you for your prompt reply, but I'm afraid we're not quite there yet. When I search for "time(\s+)zone" (without the quotes), oXygen does not find it. A similar example is this:
<p status="changed">The body of the <keyword
conref="_conref_library.xml#topic_qjt_sdx_1f/keyword_wms_s2x_1f"/> consists of the following zones:</p>
When I search for "consists of(\s+)the following" or "consists(\s+)of(\s+)the(\s+)following" with the Regular Expression option selected, oXygen will only find the occurrences where there is only a single space between the words.
Any other ideas?
Thanks.
Yves
