[Migrated] Copy regex find and replace from the "test regex page" to the active page
Open, Needs TriagePublicFeature

Description

It is quite laborious copying the regex to the active screen from the test regex page. I would like a button on the testing page that will put the regex into the active find and replace page on the next available row, and automatically open the active active find and replace page ready for approval by clicking "done". @Snowmanradio 21:15, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

You can do that in reverse. If you go via the FaR, and right click and move to regex tester (not sure on the specifics), you can move it to the tester, edit it, and move it back...

I will look for that - I have not been looking at what was available in the right click menu. When I have needed to test a complicated regex I have started writing it on the tester, and there is no indication of how to transfer it easily to find and replace.

Anyway, I think this area could be improved to make it more user friendly.
