Find and replace: Greedy regular expressions
See original GitHub issueSpyder version: 2.3.9 OS: Ubuntu 14 Python 2.7
Find and replace doesn’t work for non greedy regular expressions. This regular expression:
\{\$documento\['(.+?)'\]\}
doesnt recognize this text:
{$documento['DOC_CODIGO']}','{$documento['DOC_DOCID_EDP']}','{$documento['DOC_ESTADO']}','{$documento['DOC_BORRADO']}','{$documento['DOC_SAP_CODMATERIAL']}'
But this other regular expressiones does (without the question mark):
\{\$documento\['(\w+)'\]\}

@rlaverde, please create a PR based on @aplicacionamedida work.
No prob, thanks to you for reporting it 😃
But please be aware that this only works if you’re using Spyder with PyQt5 (not PyQt4).
