I’m sure there’s a good reason why this is a bad idea but I was trying to strip out all newlines from a ~40,000 line file. I was in regex mode at first and replaced \n with a null string. single replace worked fine Replace all gave me a spinning beachball of death. I tried coping the newline instead of using regex mode, I tried turning of the loop back to the beginning option, I tried reversing the direction so it just has about 20 replaces to do. Still hung. It also seems to start eating memory after that.
I have a 2011 iMac with Mountain Lion.
Here’s the crash log from when I -9’d it:
