does it mean "didn’t work at all"? What have you seen on the screen?<BR>Are you
sure those are really empty, and no space in them?<BR><BR>By the way, now I
remember, that earlier I had problems, too, when I wanted to substitute a
newline (searching works well).<BR><BR>

<DIV class=h5>And it is likely that once you have specified -regex, you have
to type \| instead of |, because | has a special meaning in regexes.<BR><BR>

class=gmail_quote>First, you must specify -regex in the command if you want
"\n" to mean a newline instead of literal \n.<BR>Second, "-cat:Dumpers" is
not correct, use -cat:"Dumpers" or simply -cat:Dumpers instead, if you want
to work with this category. ("" is only necessary if your category name has
a space.)<BR><BR>
