Hi there!
Find and replace in 1.1b5-- search for \t, replace with \s, regex
box checked, looking in selected text. I got "s" instead of space:
3 Union Street
3sUnionsStreet
Thanks for your patience!
P.S. How do I type 3<tab> without having it become <h3></h3>? The
bundle editor didn't reveal any clues.
Cheers,
Dameron

why use \s instead of " ", i.e. just a space?

Doesn't happen to me. what type of file are you editing?

I think you've misunderstood the regex characters: \s means "any
single horizontal whitespace character", such as a tab or a space. You
can't use this as a replacement character (it's *not* a character),
just use a literal space instead. (ie, just type in a space for the
replacement character.)

Hi there!
Thanks all of you, for your help...
XHTML has the hN mapped to snippets, just had to dig farther.
As for the \s space thing, it's clear now, but a bit inconsistent
(or newbie confusing?). The find field works as expected, but replace
accepts \t and \n, but not \s. (haven't checked others) I assumed they
all would (started with \t), and forgot about my assumption. Perhaps
the unambiguous (\t,\s,\n, etc. labeled "General Escape Codes" in the
help files) markers could all work? IMHO, that would be more
consistent.
Cheers,

As someone already pointed out, \s would match both a tab and a regular
space, so it would not be so clear which of them you would want to use
in the replace part, hence you are not allowed to be ambiguous like
that :-)

Hi!
Ooops, my bad. Yes, that has been mentioned, and \s is *not* in the
"General Codes" section of the help. If only consistency of
*perception* (mine) were easier....<sigh/>

You most likely have a HTML <h3> snippet in the HTML bundle that has a
3 as it's tab trigger. Either change this tab trigger to h3 or empty or
whatever, or disable the HTML bundle if you're not using it.
A newer HTML bundle is on the way and the tab triggers for <hN> will be
hN (n=number). Secondly, the next (?) beta version of TM will introduce
scopes so that if you're working in HTML syntax h3[tab] will produce
<h3></h3> whereas in any other syntax it won't.
Hope that helped you. Any further problems like this, just look
through the bundles Snippets/Commands/Macros to see which item causes
the behaviour.
Kind regards,
Mats
