Okay, I had a tab-delimited list like the following that I wanted to turn into a set of class constants:



So I dragged down the relevant line numbers to select them, and then I opened the replace dialog and set it up as follows:



I clicked Replace All, and I got a search string not found error. Why? I tried tweaking the search string bit to get something the IDE would accept, but never hit on anything. Finally, I gave up and did the exact same search (copied-and-pasted) over in BBEdit, which did the job excellently with this setup:



Since I wasn't trying to search nor replace across multiple lines, I expected PhpED to be able to do this without a problem, so what happened? Did I manage to go wrong somewhere?

As of version 5.0 or below, phped does not support tabs in search expression. It will be implemented in the future version.
