      hello
      in a support question and issue thread someone isnt able to use the regex on arabic text (hebrew too) , because the regex reads the text in wron direction . further i havent found a way to reverse writing directions or word-string-order . there is a possibility to reverse the lines order (end to begin(bottom to top)) with a plugin :“reverse lines” , also there is a text direction (rtl or rtl) change option in view menue , but that is not helpful much here .

      sure i want to be able to read and search and write in the opposite direction too , for experiment and play . but it would be ok if i could simply transform text into different order . how to change regex working direction would be another question , it depends if it is neccesary .

      are there regex possibilities to transform writing direction or how to manage ? scripts ?
      backward search in regex is disabled , but can be activated , is it helpful ?

      preface definitions :
      writing direction(wri) : left to right (ltr) or right to left (rtl)
      wording direction (wor): ltr or rtl
      lining direction (lin): top to bottom (ttb) or bottom to top (btt)

      how can i make the text (wri-ltr, wor-ltr, lin-ttb) :

      1. abcd 1234
      2. arabic hebrew
      3. schlierenkontrast heisenbergsche interferenzunschärfe

      case 1) into (wri-ltr , wor-rtl , lin-ttb):
      1234 abcd 1.
      hebrew arabic 2.
      interferenzunschärfe heisenbergsche schlierenkontrast 3.

      case 2) or into (wri-ltr , wor-rtl , lin-btt):
      interferenzunschärfe heisenbergsche schlierenkontrast 3.
      hebrew arabic 2.
      1234 abcd 1.

      case 3) or into (wri-rtl , wor-ltr , lin-ttb):
      .1 dcba 4321
      .2 cibara werbeh
      .3 tsartnoknereilhcs ehcsgrebneseih efrähcsnuznerefretni

      case 4) or into (wri-rtl , wor-rtl , lin-ttb):
      4321 dcba .1
      werbeh cibara .2
      efrähcsnuznerefretni ehcsgrebneseih tsartnoknereilhcs .3

      case 5) or into (wri-rtl , wor-rtl , lin-btt):
      efrähcsnuznerefretni ehcsgrebneseih tsartnoknereilhcs .3
      werbeh cibara .2
      4321 dcba .1
