And, if you run this S/R, using the Regular expression search mode, you must adopt this syntax :

SEARCH "

REPLACE \\"

because the Escape \ is a special regex character and needs to be escaped, itself, with an other \ symbol, to be taken as a literal !

Best Regards,

Note that not all are replaced.

This makes me suspect that the replacements are all after the current
caret position and you haven’t checked wrap around, is that right?

Works fine for me. Maybe more details about what you are doing (screenshot?) and what you are ending up with?
