Multi-Line Search and Replace [message #176589]

If Eclipse had multi line find/replace, it would be the only editor I'd
use. I would love to permanently ditch HomeSite, but it has this niche
feature.

I've got the string (A):
"See
Spot
Run"

And I want to replace this string with (B):
"See
Fido
Run"

In HomeSite, I can paste string A in the "find" box, and paste string B in
the "replace" box. Simple as that. What makes this convenient is
HomeSite's multi-line textarea fields (as opposed to one-liner text inputs
of Eclipse's "find").

What are the different ways (if any) of doing this in Eclipse?

Thanks!
Jamie

The Search/Replace dialog has an option to use regex - I would think you
could formulate a regex to do what you want.

Hope this helps,
Eric
