-TC8.50 b8: Double Backslashes in Searchtext not found

[TychoBarfy]

Both TC x64/x86:
If you go to find text in files (i.e. in UTF-9 formatted .cs-files) and there are some containing strings like: Char c = '\\';

In Find text (Options ANSI charset (Windows) and UTF-8 enabled) type in:'\\'
No results...

In Find text (Options ANSI charset (Windows) and RegEx (2)) type in:.*'\\\\'.*
Results...

According to help topic,

To find a backslash \, you need to give it twice: \\ .

Your regex works for me w/o changes.

I tested it with ANSI file with mentioned string (UTF-8 looks like ANSI when there are no non-latin characters). Please provide file sample where it doesn't work for you. Can you see file contents with TC lister by F3?

That is correct. Like MVV said, also for normal search you need to double the \ character.

Find text
If this option is checked, you can enter text to be searched. With \t you find tabstops, and with \n line breaks (ENTER) in texts. To find a backslash \, you need to give it twice: \\ .

That's it and it makes sense. Sorry for my silly post!
Please close this thread!

Thanks MVV and white
