 * Hey Guys,
 * Long time user and lover of Better Search Replace,
 * Found a bit of a bug it seems, I tried to do the following replacement.
 * [http://wordpress.example.com.au/](http://wordpress.example.com.au/)
    [http://wordpress.example.com.au/mlt1/](http://wordpress.example.com.au/mlt1/)
 * But the script seems to doing a duplicate run creating an infinite loop on the
   script, I had to kill the script in terminal because it kept going.
 * In the end My url turned to
    [http://wordpress.example.com.au/mlt1/mlt1/mlt1/mlt1/mlt1/](http://wordpress.example.com.au/mlt1/mlt1/mlt1/mlt1/mlt1/)
 * If you could please fix this I would be fantastic, I have quite a few sites I
   need to do this on.
 * Thanks.

 * Hi,
 * I’ve tested with similar search/replacements and haven’t been able to replicate
   the issue.
 * There will be a release early this coming week with a few minor bugfixes (I don’t
   think they would address this issue), and also some better debug information.
 * If this issue is repeatable, could you shoot me an email at [support@expandedfronts.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/infinite-loop-replacement/support@expandedfronts.com?output_format=md)?
 * There’s a couple things I would like to check if you have a few minutes. Thank
   you.
