AzraelFor a better understanding of the inherent problems with these other less efficient editors, check the "Background" collapse box in the first post.
Some.
First of all, even in the example you just gave, that's less efficient than Farlap because it requires typing in more than just the search term. It is doing the same thing, except objectively worse.
Secondly, what would I enter into Vim to have it search for this:
And replace it with this:
Even though there is some convoluted way for "advanced" text editors to do this, it is grossly inefficient compared to Farlap, with which you simply paste each block of text directly into the program and it does it automatically.
Furthermore, Farlap goes a step further, and uses a second box for the text output, preserving the original text in case you want to make different changes to it, or your replacement goes badly, which can be incredibly helpful when dealing with complex regular expression.
Even more, it tells you how many replacements were made during the process, another very useful piece of information.
Regardless of how much you may like some program for general text editing, it can't hold a candle to Farlap for finding and replacing text.
Secondly, what would I enter into Vim to have it search for this:

Regardless of how much you may like some program for general text editing, it can't hold a candle to Farlap for finding and replacing text.
I'm feeling you have preconceived opinion about all text editors. Assure you, Vim isn't like the others. I agree that it's not that easy to substitute the text you just given, but tell me when in the world will you need to subsitute so large blocks of text? When I'm editing triggers I don't need to do *that* massive substitutions. And as a side note, Vim also counts number of substitutions.
EDIT:
About undoing the initial text. Vim keeps it as a single change, so you can easily undo all substitutions at once. It keeps the whole undo/redo modifications tree of the file that you can travel. You can undo the file to a specified time: for example undo to a state when the file was 5 seconds (or 1 hour) ago. But it doesn't really have to do anything with our current discussion.

There isn't any facet of find/replace that the program you mentioned does as well as Farlap, never mind better, and there are some things it can't reasonably do at all.
Quote from Wormer
Wormertell me when in the world will you need to subsitute so large blocks of text?
In the Background collapse box which I mentioned earlier, this was the exact example which was used: Finding the contents of the shoutbox, and replacing it with a large block of text, like the Declaration of Independence.
I actually just used Farlap yesterday to add anchors to a list with over a hundred elements on a Wikipedia page. It took me under a minute.
Here are a couple examples of other uses:
Quote from Azrael
AzraelI was having to make a lot of minor replacements to a large body of text, and it was pretty tedious having to do them all consecutively. That's why I quickly used Farlap to reformat my large block of text into regex, and put the entries I want to replace at the top of the text block.
Quote from Azrael
AzraelI copied a chunk of the system that uses both the DC unit and the location that goes with it in each trigger, and had Farlap strip away all the useless information to generate me a neat list of which units go with which death counts.
Quote from Wormer
WormerWhen I'm editing triggers I don't need to do *that* massive substitutions.
I haven't read the last post of yours yet, but here is what I can say:
It looks like I'm starting to understand the reason why you need so massive substitutions. Let's say we have binary countoffs:
Let's say n takes values 16, 8, 4, 2, 1 and I want to add (2^n)*3 to Custom score instead of 2^n. I'm not sure if this is achieveable with regular expressions, but in any way I would really need to search for the whole trigger pattern. In this case Farlap is really ahead of text editors in terms of substitution.
If I had a job to make that substitution, I would have used MacroTriggers and written something like:
FOR n = 4 TO 0 BY -1 DO
TRIGGER
OWNERS: @F("Factions (Suggested 4-8)")
CONDITIONS:
Deaths("Player 7", @Exactly, 0, "Start Location")
Deaths("Current Player", @Exactly, 0, "Zerg Creep Colony")
Deaths("Current Player", @AtMost, 1, "Disruption Field")
Deaths("Player 1", @AtLeast, 113, "Independent Starport")
Deaths("Player 1", @AtMost, 224, "Independent Starport")
Deaths("Player 4", @AtLeast, 2^n, "Independent Starport")
ACTIONS:
SetDeaths("Player 4", "Independent Starport", @Subtract, 2^n)
SetScore(@CurrentPlayer, @Add, (2^n)*3, @Custom)
PreserveTrigger()
ENDT
ENDL
But it's another story.
In conclusion I agree that Farlap is superior to trigger editors when it comes to a specific task of changing series of triggers.

Trigger("Factions (Suggested 4-8)") {

Deaths("Player 1", "Independent Starport", At Most, 224);

Set Deaths("Player 4", "Independent Starport", Subtract, 2^n);

Some.
But then again, what comes to your first example:
In Vim, I just selected the lines that I need to apply substitution and run 2-3 substitute commands, like:
Your second example:
It is not that easy to do but it looks as follows:
Anyways, it's a problem of reverse triggers engineering. In first place I wasn't using plain SCMD triggers at all.

An artist's depiction of an Extended Unit Death
Quote from Wormer
WormerThis is a cool stuff, and I don't want to sound rude, but you can achieve this with Vim and it's regular expressions.
This program serves the purpose of making find and replace across multiple lines as easy and intuitive to the average user with little to no learning curve required. Regex wasn't even in the original release because the program was never intended to be as powerful as more advanced editors; I just threw it in because someone made a request and it was simple to implement.
If you know Vim, by all means, stick to using that, as it is indeed more powerful in what you can do with it.
(And please do note that the name of this program is all tongue-in-cheek.)

I was talking to Azrael about this and realized it may not be immediately apparent to some people:
C# supports named groups for Regex in the form of (?<name>Matching Text) for matching and ${name} for replacing. Since this program uses the C# implementation of Regex, this feature (and others, such as recursive/Regex look behinds) are all available to use.
Example:
Say you want to replace certain parameters in a Bring statement of SCMDraft text triggers. You can do a find/replace using regex as follows:
However, the replace isn't very readable and is subject to breaking if you add or remove groups to the find statement. To remedy both of these issues, we can name our groups:
Now it's very easy to read what you'll be replacing, and it won't break if you happen to add more groups, because you're using the group names to find what you've matched (as opposed to using the index number of the group).
If we wanted to replace all Bring statements' unit with Terran Marine, we'd just change the ${unit} variable in our replace to "Terran Marine" and we're good to go:

An artist's depiction of an Extended Unit Death
I decided to revisit this project over the weekend and made a few additions:
1) Saving settings. This was long overdue, of course, and I forget why I didn't do it when it was first suggested. I had looked into different ideas on saving a config file, and then something came up and I never got it finished. Regardless of the excuses I may have had, the latest version of Farlap will remember the checkbox selections you make each time you open and close the program. So if you have an ideal setup, Farlap will remember it!
2) Resizing text boxes. Originally, these were fixed ratios that would scale when you resized the entire window, but I realize that's fairly inconvenient if you have a large input and output but are only replacing a few characters. You can now adjust the heights of the three textbox "rows," as well as the ratio of the find and replace boxes.
3) Save/Load. If you have a find/replace you're working on and want to save it off to a file, you can do so now with the click of a button (and then trudging through Microsoft's file dialog window). You can either save the output as a text file, or you can save a Farlap Text File (.ftxt), which will retain the input, find, and replace information (it doesn't save the output because that can be generated on load). Loading can be from an ftxt file, which will update the input/find/replace boxes, or it can be from a text file (or any file, really, if you would want to do that; don't pick something large or it will hang trying to convert the data to a text string) in which case it will just update the input text.
Happy find/replacing!

This is one of my most used SC utilities, 2nd only to scmdraft. I'll check out the update.
None.
An artist's depiction of an Extended Unit Death
Well, it's the summer of a new year, so you know what that means... another Farlap update!
There's only one change, which is a new feature called "Keep Matches Only." This works specifically if you're using Regex and want to strip out and format parts of a block of text, for presenting or using the data.
Take, for example, grabbing all contacts from an ugly Html document:
With the "Keep Matches Only" option checked, all that HTML and CSS stuff that wasn't captured by the Regex expression is removed from the output, leaving just whatever you matched in your "Find" formatted the way you specify in your "Replace." It's pretty handy for when you need to quickly nab data like this.
The DLDB entry has been updated to this new version. Check it out!
