Listmates, One frustrating bug in kde4 is the lack of the regular expression editor that was built into the find/replace dialog of kwrite/kate. I was trying to build a regex to do a replace all, but was having trouble. [ sad you can no longer just check it in the regex editor ] Any way, here is what looks broken. In kwite, I simply want to strip the number info from the following with a regex: kdepim4-debuginfo-4.3.0-149.5 libqt4-debuginfo-4.5.2-57.1 kdelibs4-debuginfo-4.3.0-152.4 kdelibs3-debuginfo-3.5.10-55.3 madwifi-debuginfo-r3725+AR5007EG-2.2 libdvdcss-debuginfo-1.2.10-6.1 madwifi-debugsource-r3725+AR5007EG-2.2 libdvdcss-debugsource-1.2.10-6.1 libdvdplay0-debuginfo-1.0.1-0.pm.5 libdvdplay0-debugsource-1.0.1-0.pm.5 kdebase4-debuginfo-4.3.0-103.5 kdelibs4-experimental-debuginfo-4.3.0-19.1 kdepim4-debugsource-4.3.0-149.5 kdepimlibs4-debuginfo-4.3.0-101.1 kdepimlibs4-debugsource-4.3.0-101.1 My regex of choice is: -[[:digit:]].*$ But kwrite will not accept it? Simply saving the file as 'tstregex' and using sed works fine: 16:33 alchemy:~/tmp> sed -e 's/-[[:digit:]].*$//' < tstregex kdepim4-debuginfo libqt4-debuginfo kdelibs4-debuginfo kdelibs3-debuginfo madwifi-debuginfo-r3725+AR5007EG libdvdcss-debuginfo madwifi-debugsource-r3725+AR5007EG libdvdcss-debugsource libdvdplay0-debuginfo libdvdplay0-debugsource kdebase4-debuginfo kdelibs4-experimental-debuginfo kdepim4-debugsource kdepimlibs4-debuginfo kdepimlibs4-debugsource Why wont kwrite accept the regex? I can get it to accept "-[0-9].*$", but not the one using [[:digit:]]. What gives? I guess kwrite/kate does not recognize the :digit:, or :fill-in: character classes. Is there a setting that will fix this? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
