[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #57633] Allow search/replace of special characters like tab, bell, CR, \0, etc. in GUI editor

[Philip Nienhuis]

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #57633 (project octave):

Ah you're right, didn't occur to me that this functionality would live there.
It isn't very obvious and explained nowhere.

So OK, it works for \t (tab) (fine! that's at least what I'd use it most often
for), but other characters? \0 ?
How would I enter e.g., a "bell" (ascii 7)? Or am I asking just too much?

That \r (CR) and \n (LF) can't be processed is too bad (notepad++ can handle
those; very very handy in selected cases) but well, I just may have to live
with that.

If all functionality is there this bug report can be closed with "invalid" I
suppose. Sorry for the noise in that case :-)
