Hewan Belay <[email protected]> reported that the Do-File Editor
in Stata 11 for Windows can crash when doing a Find/Replace All with
the "regular expression" option checked:

This will be fixed in the next Stata executable update.

Re the update, I stand guilty as charged (by Kit). I haven't gotten in the habit of regularly doing an -update all-. But I promise to do so in the future before going to statalist with a question.
I hope I can at least partially make it up with this:
http://www.stata.com/support/faqs/data/regex.html
Here is all the information about what regular expressions are, and what they do in stata. I just tried them out. For example, if you type ^[0-9]+ in the "find what" box, it finds all expressions of a series of digits in the do file. But it only find those digit series that are at the very beginning of a line, not those that are somewhere in the middle of a line, or even those that start at a line after one space. The website above goes into much more details on regular expressions in stata.

Just to be sure, the "regular expression" problem has not
disappeared, has it? Btw, what prevented you from updating
earlier?

I now updated my stata, and that took care of the problem.
Thanks for that advice. And it apparently also took care of
the other problems Kit listed, e.g. do file executing the
line following the selected lines.
Many thanks!

Does that mean that I can kill it separately, thus
preserving my precious
main process which may hold important data? (Weird
that I
should ask Kit for
Windows advice, is it not :-) )

Stata update
of 21oct2009 included
(note points A,B):
Stata executable, Windows
22. The Do-file Editor
has the
following new features and fixes:
A. New option
"Replace all in selection" restricts the replacement
of
all
occurrences to the currently selected text.
B. When a
"Replace all" was requested of a string, s, with a
string s1
that
contained s, an infinite loop happened. This has
been
fixed.
C. "Balance
Braces" under the "Find" submenu in the "Edit" menu
did not
work
if the close brace was the last character of the
file.
This
has
been fixed.
D. "Match
Brace" under the "Find" submenu in the "Edit" menu
selected
the
section of code between the focused brace and its
matching
brace. It now selects only the
matching brace.
E. Syntax
highlighting settings could not be restored to
factory
defaults. This has been fixed.
F. When a
line
was selected by clicking on the line number, the
selected line and the following line
were
both executed. This
has
been
fixed.
G. Under
certain conditions and when auto-indentation was
enabled,
the
Do-file Editor computed the wrong
indentation length for the
current
line
based on the indentation length of the previous line.
This has
been
fixed.
Perhaps the Do-FIle Editor (which as Martin indicates
is a
separate process
under Windows) was imperfectly fixed...
