Never noticed this before as having it slit vertically always looked uncomfortable, but the horizontal split is now becoming my default view as it makes more sense on a widescreen monitor.

Yes. For now all replaces must happen in Code View. I'll look again at leaving it in the Code View window in Split View once the editors are updated. At the moment the switching to/from split view is a bit intricate and it was one change too many.

Regular or Regex. If I close Sigil and re-open the epub, the same search will find the next occurrence and stop again. Lather, rinse, repeat. It just won't let me step though them one-at-a-time and "approve" the replacement. Using "Replace All" seems to work as expected, but is scary as hell.

I'm using the Windows 32-bit version on Vista, for the record.

EDIT: and seems it's not recognizing the \1 \2 replacement syntax for some fairly simple references (or rather it's inserting the literal "\1" "\2" instead of what they're referencing). Did something change I'm not aware of?

I just ran into the fact there is no 'Find Next' if you do a Find and do not do a replace, you have to move the cursor after the find to do another find

What are you Find&Replace settings?

I was trying to search for ([a-z])([A-Z]) as in runTogether
replace was \1 \2

First of all it would find punctuation (left curly quote) which it should not have, then clicking find again, would not move

I am back at Sigil 4.2 (BTW XP SP3)

It wasn't finding (highlighting) a left curly quote for me, but it was certainly stopping to the left of that curly quote, most times, and then refusing to budge again. I tried moving the cursor around several times to maybe "jump-start" the Find sequence with no luck.

I'm cool with 0.5.1 for now. F&R is working very well for me. And the "add existing file" bug is quite effortless to work around.

(I think the patch from issue 1258 fixes the issue theducks mentioned, at least that's what my local test showed).

[theducks]

I had tried with 'current file' as the setting (I tend to wait and see if un-planned results before turning things loose on the whole book

I am positive the crew will sort this out )

I concur (Ubuntu 11.10, 32-bit).

Just to make sure if this is a different issue - what are the options you are using - mode, look, direction. I tested with your strings and they work ok in the current file. The bug is when using all or selected files, find wasn't working, although this is fixed for the next release. But if you can test again and see what your options are set to, that would help make sure this is already covered.

Mode: REGEX, Look: All HTML, Direction: Down
when it happened

I have switched (again. I really love your rename tool) to 5.1 and search appears to be working on that release

Thanks. Yeah, 5.1 search is ok.

I second this. Utterly worthless. I waited on installing 5.x, until it was a bit more stable, but had a disastrous book in (don't ask) and needed to use Spell-check, for the first time, so installed 5.2.

Was trying to find all instances of "ain't" and replace with "ain't[space]." That's all, no regex, nothin' sexy. Sigil sits there like a dodo. Even if I move the cursor, it won't find the next instance. Moreover, it "lands" the cursor, when it does move, after some random html tag (usually for a paragraph).

I don't know what is causing this problem, but it's really, really not working for plain old vanilla word searches. This puppy might go like The Flash for regex (dunno, haven't tried it yet), but for vanilla word searches, it's deader'n Julius Caesar, @user_none, @meme. (JS: can Jing you vid if you need.) For the moment, I'm going to have to explode this sucker, jam it in NoteTab Pro and see if I can fix it that way.

(P.S. -- if we are indeed persisting in adding a spell-checker to Sigil, as I see we are, can we at least add finding the next instance of a purportedly misspelled word to it, so I don't have to sit here and scroll? I feel like I've flashed back in time 20 years. If we're going to have a wp-like feature, can we make it a skosh more usable? Thx. Sorry if I sound cranky.)

Win7 Q 64-bit box running 5.2.

Unfortunatly Hitch, this is a known issue and very, very annoying. It appears that I use that function more than I thought... I believe a fix has been uploaded already so it will be fixed in the next version.

There are 3 possible workarounds:
1. bravely hit "replace all", this schould work always
2. Install 5.1. There are some other issues on 5.1, which maybe won't hurt you. S/R and spellcheck should work.
3. I've seen a patch at Sigil's web site (don't ask me how to handle this, but it's there)

Yes, that issue and several others regarding find & replace seem to have been addressed. Unfortunately for y'all, I can only build for Linux, which doesn't help you very much.

Keep in mind though, that the whole F & R engine has been completely replaced by one much more powerful. There's bound to be lots of niggling problems with such a significant change, but JS and meme seem to be on top of things. So be patient.

Or, learn to build from git, and trade the devil you know for the devil you don't know.
