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.) 2011/1/16 CobraSA <CobraSA(a)live.com> -- Bináris

didn’t work I mean, nothing was changed Yes I’m sure there’s no space after the “|” From: Bináris Sent: Sunday, January 16, 2011 12:20 PM To: Pywikipedia discussion list Subject: Re: [Pywikipedia-l] problem with replace.py 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). 2011/1/16 CobraSA <CobraSA(a)live.com> 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 Sent: Sunday, January 16, 2011 11:39 AM To: Pywikipedia discussion list 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(a)gmail.com> First, you must specify -regex in the command if you want "\n" to mean a newline instead of literal \n.
