Suggestion for Search and Replace: Multi-line S&R, and other stuff.

Hi all! I forgot my berlios account so I'll post here.

Often I've found myself having to switch between "Search path" and "Project files" when searching for a string in multiple files.

I'd like to have an option to restrict S&R (or search only) to certain file extensions (or path), but still restricting the search to project files or open files.

Also, I've been noticing a potential feature that would give C::B an incredible market share: Multi-line search and replace.

Recently I've been having to remove dreamweaver templates from around 400 files. I've had to do a multi-line regex search, but since C::B doesn't allow me to match multiple lines, I've had to do it with a PHP script (for use with PHP-CLI). Since writing scripts is cumbersome, I'd rather have C::B to have multi-line search and replace (with regex, of course) in multiple files.

Thanks!

:D.

Did you mean the "thread search" plugin? or the dialog opened by "ctrl + F" ?
If some piece of memory should be reused, turn them to variables (or const variables).
If some piece of operations should be reused, turn them to functions.
If they happened together, then turn them to classes.

I would like if the search dialogue box could be modelless  like what notepad++ does.
