Summary

Specify regular expression patters to match and replace. Only searches text nodes. Runs once DOM is fully loaded, and then monitors the DOM for changes.

Use %s in the replacement text to insert whatever was matched in the replacement. Use $1, $2, etc to insert the respective matched group.

didnt work for me with search: multiple="multiple" tabindex="1" size="5" replace: multiple="multiple" tabindex="1" size="10"

Worked for me. I needed to add 2 rows before it would save properly; only one row didn't cut it.
