Description Unknown 2002-03-14 16:53:53 UTC
Does any regular expression work at all in build 641c? Here are some that I tested but which could 
not find any matches (although they should!):

^. (beginning of paragraph)
$ or .$ (end of 
paragraph/last char in paragraph)
. (any single character)
.* (any 
string)
partofword*
onechara.tervariable

I've not been able to search for any non-regex stuff so am unable to 
do such a simple thing as replace 4 spaces with a tab.

Regular expression find is still broken in 1.0.0.
