Replace With Backslashes Misbehaving

Rich Lowe 10 hours ago in iPad • updated by Johne154 1 hour ago • 3

If your file contains \\\`

and you try to replace \\\` with \`, it only selects \\` instead of \\\` for replacement.

Thanks for all you do!

You're probably using Regular Expression as your search type, and the 1st backslash is being interpreted as an escape character.

Change your Search type to Text (under the gear icon) and it will work.

When I typed in 5 backslashes, then it selected 3 and worked. But 3 and 4 backslashes only selected 2. Good catch! I hadn't encountered this yet. Thank you.
