Bug ID: 503455
Summary: Kate command line: regex not working
Classification: Applications
Product: kate
Version: 25.04.0
Platform: Arch Linux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: kwrite
Assignee: kwrite-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: vassar...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Since a few months ago, when I press F7 to open the command line in Kate and
try to use a regular expression like:
%s/foo/bar/
it shows the error: Command "%s/foo/bar/" failed.
If I type:
s/foo/bar/
it works—but only on the line where the cursor is.
Does anyone know what's going on?
I'm using Arch Linux. I also installed the Flatpak version of Kate (following
the link from the official website), and the same behavior happens there.
Regards.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Kate.
2. Write some lines of text.
3. Press F7 to open the command line.
4. Type %s /foo/bar (or %s/foo/bar/)
OBSERVED RESULT
I get:
Command "%s /foo/bar/" failed.
EXPECTED RESULT
It should replace foo for bar in all the lines.
