[Geany-Users] replace: please don't convert characters

[ToddAndMargo]

Hi All,

Geany 1.33

Is there a way when your are doing a search and replace to tell Geany
not to interpret characters in the search and/or replace fields?
Just to take then literally as entered?

for instance

Replace:

print( "abc\n" );

comes out

print( "abc
" );

In other words, it caught my `\n` and turned it into a return.

I got some that start with `&` and oh boy.

Many thanks,
-T

Turn off "use escape sequences"
