 * Okay. So I need the Pro version for the rule to replace multiple lines of code,
   ie., “Advance Regular Expression (multiple lines at once / code blocks ). Also,
   it appears that I need the Pro Version to do a dry run. Is that correct?

 * Hi [@hunter44](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hunter44/),
 * There are a bit of correction.
 * The **dry run** feature is always **free**; it has been **free** from the beginning.
   With it, you can see exactly what will be replaced, including database columns,
   row’s id etc. This feature is very useful for free version.
 * On the other hand, for ‘Advance Regular Expression (multiple lines at once / 
   code blocks )’ feature; you need the pro version.
 * Hope this helps!
 * Regards

 * I see…You have to click **Find & Replace** in the dashboard sidebar and then 
   click **Replace in Database** in the sidebar below that. Then, in the window 
   that comes up, there is a **Dry Run check box** at the bottom.
 * Unfortunately, even though I purchased and installed the Pro version, I don’t
   see an option on that page to select the rule type “**Advance Regular Expression(
   multiple lines at once / code blocks )**“
 * That option is only available on the Real Time search/replace page which is not
   the kind of search/replace that I want to do…
