Hi Markus, Can you clarify what you are looking for? How do you want to use regular expressions in the editor? Regards, Hans

Re: Editor with regexp?
Hi Hans,
I have for example a result of some select statment, now I copie this into the editor and want to substitute the beginning of the line with a string like "insert into foo",
In vim %s/^/insert into fo /gc.

In most cases a subselect can help but in some cases this is not possible (e.g. Oracle stored procedures).

So I am looking for a sql-Editor which supports regular expressions and/or support for scripting lanuages (this will make the regexp unnecessary).

Search and replace with regular expressions would be nice, is this possible?

Regards,
Markus

Hi Markus, We have a number of things we would like to change and add to the editor, so I'll add this to the request list as one additional feature to keep in mind when we look for an editor upgrade. Thanks, Hans
