Find & replace start with

[ToniVF]

Hi everybody,

I want to find all words starting with com like computer, comedy, complete in a text. I try using com+ in the text box. It works, but it only marks the com in that words.

So if i want to underline the entire word I have to manually select them one by one and underline them.

Is it possible to use some other regular expression that marks all the word and not only the start.

Thanks.

Here is one version

Code: Select all

\bcom\w*\b

That looks for a word boundary, com, zero or more word characters, and a word boundary.
