| Summary | 0017770: Search and replace: allow the insertion of all special chars from the main insert menu | ||||
| Description | it should be possible to insert all special characters from the Insert menu. Especially, it should be possible to search by spaces and breaks. It would probably be useful to have the same rendering as if "Show Control Characters" is enabled. | ||||

Can you please make a screenshot with "View > Text frames > Show control characters" enabled? And with only a single word selected (or just the cursor in the middle of the paragraph) instead of the full paragraph selected? |

I think I've found the problem, it's generated with scribus generator and the separators of paragraphs in the googlesheet and csv are linefeed char(10) and not Carriage return char(13), also the text in the frame is viewed like an entiere paragraph. But I don't arrive to find how to fix this, it's a pity ! I tried with encapsuled "" but scribus generator keep the "" in the result, it's not encapsuled. Would you have a function in scribus to replace \n\r or char(10) with char(13). It doesn't work in fields find and replace. Thank you so much for your answer. Céline |

Yes, the screenshot confirms my supposition : - ) And that you did spot it, too. There is no easy way to replace the line breaks through paragraph breaks. But you can copy paste them into the "Edit > Search/Replace" dialog to replace them. To make it a bit simpler, you can copy a text with a bit more than the two signs, paste both in the find and replace fields, and delete the extra characters. |

Hello, thank you for your answer. I've found other way to do it : I edit the scribus file .sla with notepad++ and I replace : <breakline/> <breakline/> with <para PARENT="paragraphes-desc" LINESP="12"/> and it works and it's done for all frame text, exactly what I need. It will be great if you could integrate the use of linefeed or other utf8 characters in grep and search for next versions. |

I've modified the title and description of this ticket to match your latest comment. I hope, I understood correctly : - ) |
