Re: Help converting to /FREE with find/replace

I use TextPad for a lot of things - like editing source comments into columns, then paste back into the LPEX editor. Not sure HOW posix-compliant it is, but you can set it to use posix conventions.

And, as in all these things, you can save macros and run them again.

Can anyone tell me how to get the REPLACE text to have newlines in it? Don't worry about mentioning other tools that convert to /FREE more successfully, as I can only work with the tools I have.
Can you download a more regex-friendly editor? Notepad++ does not have
full support for the Posix regexp, but this worked:

find: ^(.....)C (\d\d) ITER\s*$
repl: \1C IF *IN\2 = *ON\n\1C
ITER\n\1C ENDIF\n

I copy/paste the section of text I want to work with. I also tend to
use Rexx macros in Code/400 for this sort of thing.
