[root cause method]:
range.replace(oldText, newText, false, false);

[error]:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: The replace string cannot contain special or break characters.

[comment]:
I googled you dont support special character on this method, and you said you were working on to make any enhancement on it during the past 7 or 8 years. Are you able to support “|” now?

if not, do you support to use regular expression to do it?

We are using aspose-words-15.4.0.jar, it is old. Please indicate that what and where is the correct jar(or the possible relevant jars), and how can I download them?

I have to correct my issue here.

the root cause is not because of “|” in oldText. it is because of the line break.
“|” works in aspose-words-15.4.0.jar.
