As far i see the matches in regex101.com, ^ matching works fine.
I start with this text
But i end up with:
after using this search and replace macro...
sub Search #$ and replace to <:h2>.kmmacros|attachment
(2.9 KB)
Why is it not matching as in the regex101?
What i wish for it to end with is:
(so that means i also have to make replacementes for æøå, but that should be easy to do.)
Thanks for any help or suggestions!
Looks like you have uncovered a KM bug. I have just submitted this bug report:
KM9 Bug Report: RegEx Change at Start of Line Inserts Wrong Characters
Since the first action of your Macro failed due to bug, I did not look further.
However, there may be some work-arounds, like this:
**Requires: KM 8.2.4+ macOS 10.11 (El Capitan)+**
(Macro was written & tested using KM 9.0+ on macOS 10.14.5 (Mojave))

So, starting from the beginning, using the source text from your regex101: build, test, and debug regex post, I have found the following macro to do generally what you are asking for. However, the text in the final result image you posted does NOT match the source text. So, I'm not sure exactly what you want. But this should at least get you started.
Be careful to NOT paste text into the Search and Replace Action. Be sure to just type it in.

### Notes:
The second Replace
is there to replace TAB and other characters in this substring:
```
har Oslo opplevd
```
with one SPACE.I am at a loss of words @JMichaelTX.... 
Does that mean my macro works for you? 
Can you use the 'insert text by typing' and the %clipboard% Variable to do this? I see why one has to avoid pasting in 'invisible' characters.
That it does! And I´m in awe at the persistence you show for helping me and all the other users that are in need.
