Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Filnik (filnik) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Still me... replace.py and \n

Initial Comment: millosh has log-in on #pywikipediabot today, asking how you use "newlines" with regex because \n seems not working with replace.py.

I've asked him if he his on windows and he reply not to be on that OS but he can't use <enter> instead of \n.

I still think that the "limiter" for win32 is a bit weird and useless, also because if you write a regex on windows you have to replace all the \n with "enters".

So... can you delete the "limiter"? Thanx, Filnik

Well... if there is a better solution, post a patch (or apply the changes... ;-)). Because, 'till now, my hack seems to work perfectly. Imho it's a waste not to use that also on other platforms. Filnik

Yes, this problem isn't OS related: simply - unlike DOS/Windows - in typical UNIX shells to can type newline characters without using '\n'. In #1769869 I have mentioned a possible solution.
