It might be me, but I can't seem to get ^ or \n etc to work in regex. Is this feature turned on?

Jon,
CompareIt always applies RegExps to single lines only, not for full text, so these matches doesn't work.

Oh I see. I had been using "Winmerge" and this did have the ability to do Regex search and replace on the whole file, I just assumed Compare It! was the same. No problem, thanks Igor.

So will you be adding regex so that the full file can be processed, it is very useful because regex can be very powerful and changs things you did not take into account.

Yes, this is in my to-do list, but for future. Right now there is some workaround for simple cases - using rule "ignore lines between R1 and R2"
