Bug#315883: /usr/bin/openoffice: OOWriter fails to replace regex by reference
Package: openoffice.org-debian-files
Version: 1.1.3-8+1
Severity: normal
File: /usr/bin/openoffice
I have a text with italics which I want to transform to html, for
certain reasons using search and replace.
So I use a regex (.*) for searching, and another one <i>\1</i> for
replacement, while searching for format italics. The \1 is supposed to
insert the text found and referenced by the () of the search expression.
Searching works fine. The problem: replacing does not insert the text
(refered by \1 in the replacement expression), but inserts literally
'\1'. Result: The found text is wiped out.
This kind of search and replace things works quite well with another word processer I know.
So this not working with OOWriter diminishes OOWriter's usefulness for
me.
