(vbCrLf ), for all text columns in a table, using Search+Replace?

No, you would have to write the code yourself, or manually carry out update
queries on the text fields. The update queries would look something like
that below:

UPDATE MyTable SET MyTable.MyField =
Replace([MyField],"<NewLine>",Ch r$(13) & Chr$(10),1,-1,1)
WHERE InStr(1,[MyField],"<NewLine>",1) >0

Hello, I'm having some problems understanding Regexps in Python. I want to replace "<google>PHRASE</google>" with "<a href=http://www.google.com/search?q=PHRASE>PHRASE</a>" in a block of text. How can I achieve this in Python? Sorry for the naive question but the documentation is really bad :-( Regards, GVK

It is really a pain to use a completely different syntax each time I want to do a search or replace using regular expressions in VS IDE. Why don't you support the normal regex syntax, i.e. the one used by ..net Regex class (and virtually by everything else), in VS IDE for search and replace?
