Hello,

I am working on an update of a project we translated some time ago where there are a lot of strings whose only change is the addition of a colon at the end.

I've tried to perform a quick find and replace with replace with RegEx as follows:

Search: ^(.+)$

Replace: $1:

Yet, Studio does not seem to like that, since every time I try I get an error message stating that I cannot delete beginning/ending of a segment. I've tried using only (.+) in search field, but still it does not work. I honestly think this is a bug, since I remember performing a similar search and replace operation for strings with missing trailing whitespaces (replacing ^(.+[^\s])$ with $1 ) and it does not seem to work now, either.

Could anyone advise about a workaround? I know that the "fuzzy match repair" feature should work this out, but our TM is a GS one and GS server TMs do not support this feature. And I know I could easily create a local TM from GS TM export for that purpose, but I think it would even take me longer than adding all these colons manually.

My Studio version is 2017 SR1 - 14.1.6329.7 (the latest so far I think).

In case it helps, see bellow error details:

Thank you in advance for your help.
