A friend told me that gedit was missing a regular expressions plugin that could replace. I use gedit occasionally, and so I worked on this plugin. It uses Python's good regular expression module, and supports backreferences, making it possible to do significant text processing.
This plugin is based on extensão para o gEdit by Daniel Carvalho. I fixed bugs, cleaned up the interface, moved the menuitem to the Search menu, added backreferences support, added replace all, and added an option for case-sensitivity. Also, the search mode is multiline, so ^ matches the start of a line. Download
To install, place the files in ~/.gnome2/gedit/plugins/. Then open gedit, choose Preferences from the Edit menu. On the plugins tab, you should see Regular Expression Replace in the list. Check to enable. Now, you should have a "Regular Expression" item in the Search menu. Tell me if you have any feedback.
Backreferences are very useful. In the screenshot above, I've written a regular expression for turning "one.tim" into "tim.one", and so on.

Thanks, it works perfectly.
Question: Is it possible to use Ctrl-H shortcut? Or add a shortcut for it, at least.

Hey Ben,
I'm commenting just to thank you for the work. It's being useful.
Best,
Rafael.
Thanks a lot for the excellent plugin. However it would be even better if it didn't disable the replace buttons if there's no text in the replace field. Sometimes we need to just remove some parts of a text, not replace them with something else. Can you do this?
Thanks for this!
I agreed with Waldir, being able to replace text with nothing (delete) is very useful.
Thanks for this, but my first use of it found a bug. I want to remove the first two leading spaces, so I search for '^ '
It looks like the '^' is not bound to the start of the current line, it's bound to the point where the search begins. Being cautious, I used 'find' a few times before doing the replace all. It steps through multiple matches on the same line.
My wishlist:
1. Fix the above
2. Add a hotkey to bring up the dialog
3. Add a replace and search again button with keyboard shortcut.
It's nearly there.
I've been using nedit, which is not bad, except that it doesn't understand the gnome virtual file system, which would be much more convenient sometimes.
