Question about Find/Replace with RegExp and Backslash

Hello!

First of all, thank you for this great editor!

Currently I’m trying to write my frist macros and would like to find and replace some strings:

For example search for: (1) or (2) or (3) and so on…

I would like to replace such a string with: absatz

So for the moment I’m just trying the Find method and use the following:

document.selection.Find(“(.)”, eeFindNext | eeFindReplaceRegExp);

But that macro “finds” all characters, since only the dot-operator is used. But if I use this regular expression in the replace-dialog it works like it should be. I’ve tried other combinations in the macro, for instance [0-9] finds all numbers, thats correct, but as soon as I use the blackslash-char, it is simply ignored.

And if – for testing reasons – I search for a simple string that works and would like to replace it with a LaTex-command like section, the backslash is ignored again even if I use section.

Am I doing something completly wrong?

Thanks for any hint.
