What does it mean "didn’t work at all"? What have you seen on the screen? Are you sure those are really empty, and no space in them?
By the way, now I remember, that earlier I had problems, too, when I wanted to substitute a newline (searching works well).
Try using \r\n for finding the newline, so someting like "|\r\n|-" "|Yes\n|-"

Hi Thanks for helping D:\Development\pywikibot>python replace.py -cat:Dumpers -regex "\|\n\|-" "\|Yes\n\|-" didn’t work at all and without the \ before | it sort of freeze *From:* Bináris <mailto:wikiposta@gmail.com> *Sent:* Sunday, January 16, 2011 11:39 AM *To:* Pywikipedia discussion list <mailto:pywikipedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org> *Subject:* Re: [Pywikipedia-l] problem with replace.py And it is likely that once you have specified -regex, you have to type \| instead of |, because | has a special meaning in regexes. 2011/1/16 Bináris <wikiposta@gmail.com <mailto:wikiposta@gmail.com>> First, you must specify -regex in the command if you want "\n" to mean a newline instead of literal \n. Second, "-cat:Dumpers" is not correct, use -cat:"Dumpers" or simply -cat:Dumpers instead, if you want to work with this category.
