Add if statement if rule found continue else stop searching

Find expression if found continue find next if found then replace text in
last statement found only.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
I would like to be able to match some HTML string with a regexp keeping
some of the text in the middle and forward to the output

Here a trivial example.
If I want to match something like:
http://code.google.com/u/mometto/

and replace it with 
http://anotherwebsite.com/mometto

I can only do it with a specific user, not a generic one.

Great addon

but Auto-replace on page load is not working, I have to press on F2 even
when Auto-replace on page load is marked. Tested on several systems
inculding windows and linux workstaions, and it is the same

thank you

if you can please look into the find and replace logic used in Text
Wrangler, it might give you some ideas on how to make find,find all,
replace, replace all possible through your amazing add-on :)

Is there any possibility of getting an option for multiline matching on 
Regexes? ('m' flag) 

I tried inputting the regex with delimiters and including the flag manually but 
it didn't take.  


Consider the following HTML: 

<code>
<table>
<tr>
    <td>Group 1</td>
    <td>Cell 2</td>
    <td>Cell 3</td>
    <td>Cell 4</td>
    <td>Cell 5</td>
</tr>

<tr>
    <td>Group 2</td>
    <td>Cell 2</td>
    <td>Nuke Me</td>
    <td>Cell 4</td>
    <td>Cell 5</td>
</tr>

<tr>
    <td>Group 3</td>
    <td>Cell 2</td>
    <td>Cell 3</td>
    <td>Cell 4</td>
    <td>Cell 5</td>
</tr>
</table>
</code>

Suppose I want to nuke the middle row using a regex like:

s!<td.*?Nuke Me!<tr><td colspan=5>Nuked!</td></tr>!m
(I know the regex isn't right, but I think it should make my point clear as to 
what I'm trying to do) 

Or is there already a way to do this that I'm so brilliantly missing?

I would love to be able to replace plain text with html, without having to
worry about the html being changed. I was using foxreplace on an ajax
powered chat board, and noticed that the replace feature only would work
for plain text, and not html, but the output is escaped to plain text as
well. I tried sifting through the code, but I wasn't able to find where you
escape the html characters.

What steps will reproduce the problem?

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?


Please provide any additional information below.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.  none of the url items are selected, this is just using "Substitutions"
Replace/with in  text entry boxes
2.  position point (cursor) at the top of the text box
3.  execute the substitution(s)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

the expected output is probably what should happen.  

however, no matter where point was prior to  executing the substitution it
always ends up at the very last line of the text box afterward

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

0.10.0

Please provide any additional information below.

it would be handy if point was (re)positioned where it was before the
substitution(s) occurred.  

this is not critical because I can always grab the mouse and click to
position it afterward but if instead I use up/dn arrow key in the text box
after a substitution, I have to "up" all the way back to where it was
before substitution.  often I have a number of paragraphs I have to "up"
back through to return point where it began.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. in the subst group editor create a very long "with" (couple dozen words)
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

the columns in "subst group editor" and "foxreplace options" windows do not
appear to be resizeable and I think the width of long "with" entries
essentially squeezes the other columns (most importantly "replace" col)
into single-character-width.  so the "replace" col ends up showing nothing.
 (I do note that "html" col doesn't seem affected like "replace" is.)

iow I can see the "withs" but I can't see their associated "replaces". 
with lots of substitutions in my foxreplace this makes it difficult to
identify specific "replaces" such as when looking for it to edit.  and a
single long "with" will cause *all* "replace" to no longer appear (when
either window is scrolled such that the long "with" is in view).


What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

0.11.0; firefox 3.0.10, linux

Please provide any additional information below.

hope that's clear.  essentially very long "with" causes the "with" to be
about the only thing displayed in either "foxreplace options" or "subst
group editor" windows

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Does not work with FF3.5

A regular expression replace is creating two zeros when only one should
appear.  The result is not consistent -- most of the time two zeros appear,
but occasionally it will insert only one zero as expected.  This seems of
only occur with the number zero; other numbers and characters seem to work OK.


What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Press shift-F2
2. Select "Regular Expression" for Replace type
3. Enter "mk(\d)" in Find field
4. Enter "mk0$1" in Replace field
5. Select "Match case"
6. Click "Replace"

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Original string:  www.site.com/unpack/mk/mk1-conceptual.png
Expected output:  www.site.com/unpack/mk/mk01-conceptual.png
Actual output  :  www.site.com/unpack/mk/mk001-conceptual.png

Please provide any additional information below.
WORKAROUND:  In my particular case, adding the following dash to the Find
and Replace fields ("mk(\d)-" and "mk0$1-" seems to be working for me.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. use \n in "with" of "Substitutions" box
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I get \n instead of a newline

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.10.0 (linux, firefox 2.0.0.15)

Please provide any additional information below.

sorry, didn't know how else to contact you but foxreplace is my most used
add-on and for what I do is completely indispensable so "thank you!!" so much.

this is really a question, not an issue - what do I need to use in the
"with" box (for "replace ... with") to produce a newline in the output? 
for "Replace" I use "RE regular expression".

for example I want to replace 

"xxy" with 

"this is a line
replacing something 
so stuff will go in here"

when I use "this is a line\nreplacing something\nso stuff..." I just get
that same line in the output, no new lines:

"this is a line\nreplacing something\nso ..." 

hope my question is clear :)  incidentally all the quotes are just to
demarcate the text I'm referring to, not for inclusion in the "with" or
"replace"

I absolutely love this addon.  I do have a suggestion for it, though.

I'm not sure how difficult this would be to implement, but suppose you could 
add an option for underlining, bolding, italicizing, highlighting, or in some 
way point out which words/text FoxReplace has substituted for its original text 
on the page.

For example, I hate the word "hubby".  Don't know why, I just do.  So, I use 
FoxReplace to replace all whole words matching "hubby" to "husband".  However, 
I prefer to know when this replacement as taken place, so I actually replace it 
with "*husband".  That way I know that the person didn't originally type that.  
This is helpful in situations when I'm trying to quote people, as I wish to be 
accurate.

What do you think?  I think it would be a good option.  Sure not everybody 
would use it, but having the option would be great, because I would certainly 
use it.

It would have to be something that doesn't stick out like a sore thumb, though. 
 I believe highlighting the replacement text in bright yellow would be too 
ridiculous, for example.


Thanks for your time!  I really love this addon as-is, anyway, and I'm very 
grateful that you took the time to develop it.

Now, if only there were an add-on that would automatically correct bad 
grammar...  =] 

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. <input id="input1" type="text" onchange="add(id);"20"/>
2. find and replace with foxreplace "20" with "40"
3. it was not invoking my onchange event.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
my event was not getting called.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
foxreplace0.12.2

Please provide any additional information below.
is there any workaround for this?

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. $('input').bind('keyup change', function(){ *do something* })
2. replace text in this input with FoxReplace

"change" event (or something else) doesn't happen


What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.12.2 Mac OS Windows

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. put \d as Input string, 0 as Output string in Substitution
2. active "Auto-replace on page load"
3. load a large webpage which contains numbers


What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect that all numbers in the page are replaced by zero before the page
is processed and displayed by the browser.

As the webpage is large, so you can see the numbers in the page are
displayed in its original appearance firstly, after the whole page is
loaded by the browser, the add-on replace all number with zero.


What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
latest versions of both firefox and the addon

Thanks for your attention

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create a regex substitution for word "TODO" on first position in a line.
Regex: ^TODO  Replace: BlaFasel
2. Edit a TWiki page (normal textbox), write the word TODO in a single line
3. Hit F2 to apply the substitutions

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The substitution should replace the word TODO at the first position of a
line with the string "BlaFasel". But nothing happens.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.12.2   Ubunutu 

Please provide any additional information below.
It seems as if the regex interpreter does not know the syntax for beginning
of aline.

I would like the ability to step through each possible replacement before
actually replacing it.  Once I have decided that I would like to replace
that specific item I would hit replace and then it would replace it and
move on to the next item otherwise I would hit find or next and it would
move on to the next item without replacing it.  I would love to use this to
do some updates to some websites where I need to replace a certain piece of
text on each page when I am editing it, but I don't necessarily want to
replace it in all places on that page.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Have the window color in Windows set to black
2. Open FoxReplace Dialog Box
3. Type in the 'Replace' box

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The expected output is the text typed.

At first I thought the box wasn't accepting input but then I realized that
it was just the dark theme on my windows in Windows causing the text to
disappear.  It's all still there when you highlight over it. 

I'd recommend explicitly setting the color on the Replace box and font. 

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Firefox: 3.0.8

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Add one url
2. Add a replacement
3. Add one or more further replacements for the same url

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Should see, a clear list of the replacements listed with the url they belong to.

Do see the first replacement. After that, I only see ... both for text to be 
replaced and for replacement text. (Plus the layout could do to be improved).

I checked my input by exporting it and it was correct. I needed to change the 
order in which the replacements are processesd so I edited the FoxReplace.xml 
file and re-imported it. It now works as I want it - but you'd never know that 
from looking at the UI screen.

Hi,
I'm trying to change in the textarea box - input:
I have 5 years experience in the Science field, but I am only 5 years old.

I want to change 5 years experience to  five years experience, but keep the
5 years old at the end of the sentence to be 5 years old.
i have this in the replace.xml
<substitution>
        <input type="regexp">"/5(?!=years old)/"</input>
        <output>"five"</output>
      </substitution>
but not knowing java, but I am trying to learn it..could you help? Also, do
you get paid for this? This is a great tool - i love it! any help would be
so much appreciative.
also is there a way that will change all text from uppercase to lowercase>

open up the replacement list - add url
then add words to be replaced but no button to save. how do you save the
list? using newest version of foxreplace. i have vista. I bet it is a silly
user error...:)

Currently the addon is not compatible with 4.0-series Firefox.

This limits testing with the new version. Could the compatibility flag be 
updated please?

Thanks!

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. try to match something in a javascript and replace it

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

the expected behavior would be to have the javascript working with the
replaced part. If you look into the source code, the substitution works,
but I guess the Javascript is already loaded when this happen and as such
it doesnt change the natural behavior.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

I posted this as a Mozilla review, but realized I should probably include 
it here as well. 

First of all: great job, I love the extension!

I have written a small web app (http://elliottandlara.com/babelfox) that 
converts Google spreadsheets into FoxReplace XML substitution lists. Here 
is an example:

http://elliottandlara.com/babelfox/output.cfm?i=4FEF784C-1143-DC70-
C4DE5654A4EDDDC2

The program dynamically creates the substitution list, so the user can 
share this URL with a friend, and if he updates his Google spreadsheet, 
both he and his friend can have those updates by refreshing the URL. 

It would be REALLY cool if FoxReplace had a "Import online file" or "sync" 
feature that would prevent me from having to constantly update my 
FoxReplace substitution list when I make a change. Then any changes to a 
spreadsheet would be updated to FoxReplace immediately!

And even not just for my program, I see other neat possibilities. It could 
allow a podcasting sort of sharing of FoxReplace lists, similar to an 
AdBlock subscription list. I'm envisioning that one could set the frequency 
at which FoxReplace checks the online URL, so its not slowing down Firefox 
with constant checking and updating. 

Any way, thanks for all your hard work, and again, great job!

Incorporate FoxReplace into the following add-on BOOKMARK. The bookmark
launches a new window of FireFox that acts like notepad. It would be great
if FoxReplace worked with it.

javascript:(function(){s=document.selection?document.selection.createRange().tex
t:window.getSelection?window.getSelection().toString():document.getSelection?doc
ument.getSelection():'';pwin=window.open('','_blank','menubar=yes,scrollbars=yes
,location=no,height=500,width=600');with(pwin.document){if(s){write(s);close();}
body.contentEditable='true';designMode='on';}if(window.focus){pwin.focus();setTi
meout('pwin.focus()',125)};void(0);})()

Quiero borrar frases enteras incluyendo el retorno de carro final.

Por ejemplo si encuentra la línea "bájate el tono xxxx de www......" que la 
borre entera.

He podido borrar los caracteres haciendo un reemplazo por la cadena vacía, 
pero no me borra el "enter" del final.

He intentado añadiendo \n \r \x0D al final de la cadena buscada y no lo 
consigo.

Esto sería muy útil para eliminar los mensajes de publicidad que se añaden a 
los correos gratuitos de algunos servidores. Así al responder al correo pulsas 
F2 y se borran las frases, pero sin dejar los huecos en blanco.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. load a webpage locally from file system e.g. C:\temp\test.html which has
absolute paths for images and style sheets e.g.:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/base/css/WebApp.css">
<img src="/base/images/pic.gif"/>
2. define the following replacement pattern so that the absolute paths are
replaced with a path to the filesystem
"/base/xxx" ==> "file:///C:/base/xxx"
3. execute the replacement, image are replaced fine and loaded but style
sheets not 

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
- paths to images are going to be replaced and loaded
- paths to stylesheets are not going to be replaced resp. not loaded

I am using FoxReplace to translate words from one language to another.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Write list of substitutions to file using Print command in VB
2. Copy list and insert it into FoxReplace.xml in place of existing
substitutions
3. Try to import via FoxReplace Options/Import

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expected the FoxReplace.xml with the added substitutions to import into
FoxReplace. But FoxReplace doesn't seem to recognize the file.


What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Version 0.11 on Windows XP SP2 (patched)

Please provide any additional information below.

I made a point of respecting the format of FoxReplace.xml closely, and the
files look identical to the eye. But if I do a hex comparison, I see some
differences. I am wondering whether the Print command is writing invisible
characters that cause the resulting file to be unreadable by FoxReplace...

I can attach a copy of the little .exe I made that lets you enter a
sustitution for whatever is in the clipboard. Unfortunately I have lost my
original VB code - I am in the process of tryin to rewrite it.

Hi Marc:

I'm an foxreplace user who finds this tool useful, I'd worked with an online 
shop and I use your toolbar to fill the templates for new products.

I would find really useful the following suggestions:
Where you have the word "With", a switcher button, because sometimes the target 
pattern becomes the source for the next replacement.

And I don't know how difficult it could be to implement a button to duplicate 
this toolbar several times, for example, 5 toolbars with 5 different buttons, 
to speed up the replacements operations when I'm working with your addon.

Thanks in advance and if you don't understand my poor english,
feel free to contact me via facebook.com/dmoyav or use the same URI adding 
AT-GMAIL.COM

Ups, by the way, at the moment you replace text, if you could implement to 
highlight the replaced text, it could be easier to recognize with text was 
replaced.
I've attached an image for better understading :)

Thanks again,
Dani M.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. place an & simbole in the replace field
2. try it on any page
3. see the failure

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
supposed to replace the line, but does nothing

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
just download it from https://addons.mozilla.org/fr/firefox/addon/6510

i suppose the caracter isn't seen correctly, i tried "%26" and didn't
worked, then the "&" and this one worked, maybe this yould be written
on in the help.

1. Download 3.6.6, 3.6.8, or 3.6.10
2. Run FoxReplace
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I'm expecting to be able to use FoxReplace (had to uninstall and reinstall Fire 
Fox and it worked perfectly fine before, but now it says its not compatible) in 
Firefox 3.6.10 but get a compatibility issue

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Latest Version on Windows 7.

Please provide any additional information below.
I love this Addon and want to know why I suddenly cannot use it. I keep getting 
a compatibility issue and I've tried installing older versions of FireFox 
simply to be able to use this Addon, but it's not working.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Launch URL 1
2. Click edit button to spawn another browser window with URL 2, with an 
editable form.  This window has none of the usual browser controls or menus, 
and I can't add the replace bar with Shift+F2. There's probably an official 
name for this type of browser window, but I don't know one. 
3. I can right click in a form box in URL 2, and select "replace with 
substitution list.." from context menu, but even though I've saved URL 2 with a 
substitution entry, it doesn't do anything in the form.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I want to either be able to get the replace bar on this "headless browser 
frame", or have the F2 function work inside the form on this frame.  Neither 
work.  Note: I can get the Find bar to show up on this frame OK.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
FoxReplace 0.12.2, Firefox 3.6.12, Win7 64bit

Please provide any additional information below.
I notice that on URL 1 I can do the replace and get the non-editable text to 
change, but I can't get it to save.  As soon as I reload the page or open URL 
2, the old text is back.   A really cludgey work around is to replace strings 
in the read only text, then copy the block of text into the editable URL 2 form 
and save it.

replacing a space with anything else using the RE replaces everything on
the web page, whether from code or from editable text areas... is there a
way to configure this add-on to run on text boxes only ?

Easily enable and disable substitution lists, instead of relying on
priority for separate lists or having to export and delete a list to
'disable' it.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?


Please provide any additional information below.

What steps will reproduce the "problem"?
1. set some Words to be auto-replaced (-->Text e.g. "hot") and let the url
specification blank
2. go to Wikipedia 
3. edit a page that contains these words you defined in step one

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Foxreploace does a good job and replaces "hot"! But I would like to have
the possibility to specify some pages where the rules will not be applied.
For example I want foxreplace to replace the word "hot" everywehre expect
on Wikipedia or I want foxreplace to replace "house" everywehre but not on
wikipedia pages where I'm in edit mode because when I edit the page "house"
on Wikipedia and foxreplace is turned on (-->auto-replace) and I made my
edit and saved the page, House is deleted all over the article. But I don't
want this. I would like to have the feature to exclude sites that have a
url like http://en.wikipedia.org/*edit from my filter (e.g.
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Atom&action=edit) so that my
filter auto-replaces words everywhere except on pages that have the url
wikipedia.org and end with edit. This would give me the chance not
unnecessarily having to see some words.

I didn't found a solution for my problem in version 0.9

I really appreciate your work!

Dear all, 

Foxreplace is not working inside the compose mail window in gmail, using
firefox 3.6.3

Thanks in advance.

If this feature can have the "highlight all" ability, similar to the
regular find, it would make it much safer to use. At least get this ability
functional for text and whole words as a start. this can really boost this
add-on's capabilities. this way, no one would get confused as to what he is
about to replace. and this also saves adding a simple "find" ability to the
add-on

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Shift & F2 to bring up the replace toolbar
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The 'Replace' button is greyed out.
