Hi guys,

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|-"

And it is likely that once you have specified -regex, you have to type \| instead of |, because | has a special meaning in regexes.

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. ("" is only necessary if your category name has a space.)

command: D:\Development\pywikibot>python replace.py "-cat:Dumpers" "|\n|-" "|Yes\n|-"
It makes no chnge even the the dumpers page are full of tables with | empty followed by |-
 
any help please?
