Search ignoring whitespace
-
I have a lot of lines containing text like “proc : do-stuff()” and would basically like to do a search for “proc:do-stuff” ignoring whitespace.
Is the only way to do this to use the full regex search mode or can I do it using extended search? Searching for “Proc\s+:\s+do-stuff” is something I have to look up how to do every time it’s been more than a week :)
It’s something I seem to do quite often and I’d personally love if there was a simple “Ignore whitespace” checkbox alongside “Match case” and “Match whole word only”. I don’t suppose this might be considered a feature request

No.

So it would be?:
- ignore whitespace in the Find what expression
- ignore whitespace in the text that is searched
- both

Feature requests are not made here (well, if you want them to be seen by the developers). See HERE for how to make a proper one.
