Hi All,
New to this list, sorry if this is a repost but I searched a couple of months back in the archives and can't find any mention of it.
I very often use global search and "replace all" in a project. When doing so, my replacement term doesn't go in the right place, but rather in random places in the file, sometimes close to the head of the file.
I can't pinpoint the exact place where it'll land, but it definitely doesn't go where it should.
Here is an example, sorry for the code dump!
Sincerely,
Alexandros
For example:
ORIGINAL FILE =======
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>Page Title</title> </head> <body> Replace me here </body> </html>
GLOBAL SEARCH AND REPLACE ======
search: Replace me here Replace: I want a new body
EXPECTED OUTPUT =============
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>Page Title</title> </head> <body> I want a new body </body> </html>
ACTUAL OUTPUT =================
<!DI want a new body html> <!-- Replacement text is here! --> <html> <head> <title>Page Title</title> </head> <body> Replace me here </body> </html>
By the way, this is the Textmate 2 beta!
Hey!
I tend to hit the "Find All" button (if you want to search in the document or project folder) before I hit "Replace All". That seems to work for me. If you just want to search/replace in a selection, use the Sigma button before "Replace All".
David.

Is this TextMate 2? If so, your files MUST be UTF-8 and LF-delimited, otherwise folder search may get things wrong as it (presently) doesn’t go through the same encoding / line-feed checks as when opening the file.
Also, after doing the Find you MUST NOT edit the files without then doing a new Find (if you intend to do replacements).
