(Search): Replacement string start with '$$' only have one '$' in effect
Closed this issue · 2 comments
Describe the bug
When find and replace any string in the code, If I use string like '$$xxxx' as the replacement string then then result would be '$xxxx', only one '$' left.
Expected Behavior
Treat '$$xxxx' as a normal string, instead of a special replacement pattern.
Current Behavior
'$$' will be treated as a special replacement pattern.
Reproduction Steps
Use 'ctrl+f' to find and replace, and the replacement string start with double '$'
Possible Solution
Seems this is reasonable behavior for the "string.prototype.replace()", but this is assuming the user to know the internal implementation of the editor.
Additional Information/Context

Thank you for the report. Indeed ace uses the regular String.prototype.replace
, some extra logic would be required to make it work as expected.
