\n Newline (OS X end of line character)

Repeat Characters

The plus, asterisk, and minus sign + * - signal the repeat of the previous character or

parenthesized expression. Repeat characters follow a character or parenthesized expression.

When searching backward, Nisus Writer Express finds the shortest sequence.

Character What it Does

+ Finds one or more occurrences of whatever that character or expression matches;

the equivalent of the command 1+ on the Repeat menu

* Finds zero or more occurrences of whatever that character or expression matches;

the equivalent of the command 0+ on the Repeat menu (“it may or may not be

there”) menu (it may or may not be there)

? Finds zero or one occurrence of whatever that character or expression matches;

the equivalent of the command 0 or 1 on the Repeat menu; you can also use

minus inside brackets to signify a range

??, +?, *? Finds the shortest match allowed from each of the three repeat characters.

Match Characters

Matching characters using PowerFind Pro works much like matching characters using PowerFind.

The main differences are the metacharacters used and the added flexibility PowerFind Pro offers.

Character What it Does

( to ) Defines a replaceable parenthesized expression that can be recalled by numerical

order; the equivalent of the various Capture commands in the Match menu

\1 to \20 Finds parenthesized expressions 1 to 20; the equivalent of the commands

Captured1 through Captured10 and OtherCaptured in the Match menu

(?: to ) Defines a parenthesized expression that does not create a “back reference”.
