[Dropped] Replace <TD> New Line </TD> with TAB

[JohnCox]

I have an HTML document which I wan't to import into an OO table. I am trying to replace "<TD> New Line </TD>" with TAB.
It doesn't work. Anyone got any ideas? OO 4.1.14, Win 10.

Edit: Split from [Solved] Search carriage return and replace with tab because your problem is different. If you had the same problem you could use the same solution.

If I search for

Code: Select all

<TD> New Line </TD>

and replace with

Code: Select all

\t

and, under More Options, I select Regular Expressions, the text is replace with a tab when I click Replace All. What have you tried?

... HTML document which I wan't to import into an OO table. ...

Usually I try copy/paste first, but nit from my html-editor or notepad, but from the browser. This should create a table in Writer.

Second try would be to import to Calc first.

When working in code I guess you don't want to replace

Code: Select all

<TD> New Line </TD>

but

Code: Select all

</TD> ~a New Line~<TD>

with a tab. This can work, if this is "only" a new line , but usually you will see the pilcrow, wich ends a paragraph in writer (I hope you enabled showing formatting marks). Writers search does not span over several paragraphs. So you may need to use the extension AltSearch to Search-around this limit...
