... The only way I can get Stata to crash with Martin's example, is if I check the "Regular expression" box in the Replace window and leave the others unchecked. If I do that, then Stata will hang and clicking in the Replace window gives me the "not responding" message and the option of closing down Stata. Now, given that I don't have a regular expression in either the Find or Replace text, I wouldn't expect this to do anything, but I wouldn't expect it to cause Stata to crash either. -----Original Message----- From: owner-statalist@hsphsun2.harvard.edu [mailto:owner-statalist@hsphsun2.harvard.edu] On Behalf Of Martin Weiss Sent: Saturday, 15 May 2010 8:59 PM To: statalist@hsphsun2.harvard.edu Subject: AW: AW: st: replace-all can crash do-file <> " My guess is that this is a Stata for Windows-specific problem." Not so sure: I tried the example in http://www.stata.com/statalist/archive/2010-05/msg00801.html on a windows machine, and nothing untoward happened to me there. So more information from those who have suffered from this problem is required, including (but not limited to) the output of the -update- command.

The do-file editor in Windows has a number of bells and whistles not present in other versions of Stata. The "find" dialog in Mac OS X do-file editor has a 'replace all' button, but it behaves as expected in a do-file containing multiple instances of, e.g., hh.
