Hi Siegfried,

re:

app.changeGrepPreferences.changeTo = SpecialCharacters.FORCED_LINE_BREAK;

...won't work, because you don't enter a forced line break in the Find What field of the Find/Change panel. Instead, you enter a metacharacter--so you also use a metacharacter when you perform the task from scripting. This is what jongware's saying (thanks jongware!), but I thought I'd expand on it a bit.

In short: Don't use special characters enumerations in Find/Change. Sometimes, it'll work (when the characters are visible, non-control characters), sometimes it won't.

Other than the need to enter escape characters (to produce valid JavaScript strings), The Find What and Change To properties of all of the find/change preferences objects exactly mimic the corresponding fields in the Find/Change panel.

Thanks,

Ole
