ReReplacer - Support Forum

With the last release of ReReplacer day before yesterday (ie on 16 Nov 2022) the "treat as list" does not anymore

And precisely, in the changelog I see something related to "treat as list":

Fixes issue with spaces around searches/replacements being removed when using 'treat as list' option

I reverted to the previous version of ReReplacer and it solves the issue.

In case it helps identifying the bug, here is my practical implementation of ReReplacer with "treat as list" (one on each line):

Search:

/26-health-status,
/224-gezondheidstoestand,
/221-etat-de-sante,
/220-performance-du-systeme-de-sante-belge,
/223-performantie-van-het-belgische-gezondheidssysteem,
/28-medical-practice-variations,

Replace:

/health-status,
/gezondheidstoestand,
/etat-de-sante,
/performance-du-systeme-de-sante-belge,
/hspa-rapport,
/medical-practice-variations,

You were actually (mis)using a bug in ReReplacer.
The items should be just comma-separated. Any whitespace (including enters) are part of the search.

aaa,
bbb

That should search for 'aaa' and for '
bbb'.

So in other words, you will need to change your search to:

/26-health-status,/224-gezondheidstoestand,/221-etat-de-sante,/220-performance-du-systeme-de-sante-belge,/223-performantie-van-het-belgische-gezondheidssysteem,/28-medical-practice-variations

And replace it with:

/health-status,/gezondheidstoestand,/etat-de-sante,/performance-du-systeme-de-sante-belge,/hspa-rapport,/medical-practice-variations

oooooh, really annoying bc I have several hundreds of lines in that list
and having one on each line was pretty handy bc you can check "oh, this is line 287" both in Search and in Replace.

If I put everything on 1 line to "fix" this issue then if someone makes a typo somewhere (say at the 13rd item in the list)
- all the subsequent replacements will be offset
- and you can no more check the coherence (that you could do until 2 days ago when having line 287 vs line 287)

I think it is pretty save for ReReplacer to ignore new lines after comma's in the lists.
The fix was mainly for stuff like:

a , b , c ,...

Which should only search for ' a ', ' b ', ' c ', etc.
