    edit: SOLVED

    Hi everyone,

    I need to do a fairly simple thing, substitute al all the "\N" with spaces in a .srt file so that for exemple:

    Hi, how\N
    are you?

    becomes

    Hi, how are you?


    But when I search for them with Ctrl+F or Ctrl+H it finds nothing.

    How can I do this?

    Edit: I corrected /N with \N, but still nothing

  2. You have "In Field" set to "Style" instead of "Text".

    Using version 3.2.1, it finds it every time (using "Text").

    Actually I thought that was a style element, now it works, thank you!

  5. Hello everyone.. I got a question
    say I want to past the codes {\a6}or{\blur5} to all lines I have ... these features are not available in "style menu" so I can't create a style for them, how do I do that ? except of pasting them in every line which is annoying!

    note that when I select multiple lines and make any edit to one of them .. all the contents change to the first line

  6. Try: "Edit"->"Find and Replace (CTRL+H)".
    Tick "Use regular expressions". Select "In Field": "Text".
    Find what: ^
    Replace by: \{\\a6}
    Click "Replace all"

    Google "regular expressions" for more information. Basically, "^" means "beginning of line". Because "\" and "{" have special meanings they should be "escaped" to "\\" and "\{".

    Just use the automation script HYDRA (I recommend binding it to a hotkey). If you’re doing a lot of work with Aegisub, it’d pay to acquaint yourself with all the other scripts described on that site as well.
