I know this isn't how the editor was intended, but I needed to use a macro to avoid repetitive stress...
I opened a DOS window (was going to write 'cmd' window, but didn't want any confusion) and did a 'dir aa*.sh > rename.bat'. I then opened the file in a SQL Window, deleted the first and last lines. I then used alt-click and drag to hilite the leading non-filename information (except for the space before the first character of the filename - ' aafilename.sh') and then I pressed delete on the keyboard.
Now the display is at line 1, col 1 and looks like this (just many rows of filenames):
' aafilename.ext'
I then do Alt-Edit-Find and type ' aa' into the find text and in replace text I put 'rename aa' and do Replace All. And if I don't kill PLSD it just goes and goes and goes and goes and goes and goes! The line portion of the line/col indicator stays at 1, but the column number increases - I saw it go over 14,000.
I was able to reproduce this at will.
I got around it by clicking Search a few time first, until if finally found a match (which should have been the very first row, but it never was). Then I would click on the first row and do Replace All and got what I expected.
