gedit regex howto

Hello,

I got the gedit regex plugin with replace function from here: http://rafaelsilva.net/node/103

It's great but I have one problem: "^" doesn't work as usual in regex to match the beginning of the line. The same is true for "$" as the end of the line. "^" mathces the beginning of the first line, "$" matches the end of the last line in the text. It's probably because the whole text is interpreted as one long line containing "\n"s marking newlines.

It's easy to find the ends of the lines by searching for "\n"s but I couldn't find similar for the beginning of the lines.

Any suggestions?

Thanks
