Use two of them. If you are looking for AB~CD, put AB~~CD in the "Find what"

Hi, all

i have a problem to lookup or replace words when it contains "~"
character.
every time i have to change it to "-" manualy. for there are lots of
"~" in the workfile, too much time has been wasted on it.
Can anybody have any idea to solve this?

thanks
