      I have a website that has changed file paths. I want to replace the …/directory to directory (note that they are different directories. All the directories however are now in the same folder as this file) So I put this : …/ in the find field and nothing in the replace field. Only instead of just replacing the …/ it deleted all my end tags!

      I don’t think I’ve ever had this issue before. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

      This is the latest version of Notepad++

          I think you’d better show some actual data instead of just describing it like that.

          See HERE for some tips on how best to do this.

            My guess is that you have Search Mode: Regular expression selected when you mean to have one of the other two options. A period in a regular expression matches any single character.
