Hi,
I am trying to search and replace sections of several lines with "replace.py". Let's say for example the page content is
first second third
and I want to replace the first two lines with "new" so the new content is
new third
How can I do this? I tried something like
replace.py -multiline -page:mypage "^first$^second$" "new"
but that doesn't work.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance --Weas-El
