I need help with a script that finds a date, then insert a paragraph break in front

[Dave]

I have a Script that finds a dtae using wildcards ??/??/????. I amto locate
all of the dates.

But I want to insert a paragrgraph break in front of this date. So I tried
replacing the date with a break ^P ??/??/???? but I get the wildcards
charaters instead. Is there a way to insert this break in front of the
date?

Thanks

search for the date, then do a left arrow to get just to the left of it then
do your insert... remember to step past it before starting the search again.

Hi Dave,

You'd use ^p^& in "Replace with".
^& re-inserts the matched text in both wildcard and normal replacements.
