Hi,

I am trying to correct a XML file and replace double quotes, less than signs and ampersands.
I want to search for any '&' sign not followed by 'quot', 'lt' and 'amp' and want to replace it with '&'.
I tried with searchpattern '{&}{[^q]}', replacepattern '\1amp;\2' and this works, but only for the '"' text.
How can I add the other two searchstrings in the same searchpattern?

I doubt that it's possible within one search string.

But with this short "macro" it works:


      BoF

      repeat(ALL) {

      Search("&|!|{amp,lt,quot}", NOERR+ERRBREAK)

      Char(1)

      Ins_Text("amp;")

      }
