You macro code looks fine.

Which version of UltraEdit/UEStudio do you use?

Since UE v12.20 and UES v6.10 the GotoBookMark and GotoBookMarkSelect commands have been modified, but with some bugs if not at least UE v12.20a+2 is used.

Also maybe better would be to use PreviousBookmarkSelect instead of GotoBookMarkSelect which I just have seen.

Are you sure that every date string is found only at start of a line and never anywhere in the middle or end of a line. If you are not sure, use the command UnixReOff at start of the command to select the UltraEdit style regex engine and modify Find "^c" to Find RegExp "%^c". Don't forget to add UnixReOn or PerlReOn at the end of the macro to switch back to your preferred regular expression engine, if it is not the UltraEdit engine.

We're using version 10.00c over here; are your suggestions about the UnixReoff etc. then still valid?

I'll ask our ICT-depatment over here to consider upgrading to the 12.xx version, there seems to be a lot more options in the area of macros and find/replace which I'm missing at the moment...

You can apply all my suggestion even with v10.00c. First you should use the free update to v10.10c. Send an email to IDM support with your registration data and ask for the install package for v10.10c (language? dictionaries?). IDM support will send it for free to you.

          - Other minor issues
        - Added Font Setting for UltraCompare
        - Added INI settings allowing user to determine if the BOM should be
          written:
          - Write UTF-8 BOM = 1 - This setting causes the editor to write out
            the Byte Order Mark (BOM) header in a file when it is saved.  If
            this is not set, it will not write out the BOM unless the file
            contained it when it was loaded into the editor.  If so, the BOM
            will be written to the file irrespective of the setting.  The BOM
            is an industry standard indicating the contents of the file for
            various UNICODE formats.  This is set be default internally.
          - Write UTF-8 BOM NF = 1 - This setting causes the editor to write out
            the Byte Order Mark (BOM) header in a file when it is saved if the
            file is a new file created within UltraEdit.  If the Write UTF-8 BOM
            setting above is set, then the BOM will always be written and this is
            ignored.  Otherwise, the BOM will only be written out for new files
            if this is set.
