Hi,

where is a problem in the replace-function.  
I would replace a pattern of text with the option “Search in: Current system”. Now the RS replace the text not only one time at all positons, it replace the text many, many times. My instructionline increases from 70 columns to 3620 columns. So often RS insert the new text.

Best regards  
Thilbi
