This ode can be solved by just looking at it

ode:=(x+y(x))*diff(y(x),x)=0;

We see the solution is y=-x and y=c__1 because either (x+y)=0 or y'=0

But for some reason ODESteps(ode) says it cannot compute integral.

Any idea why?

Here is another simpler example that also confused it

Here is another one which it gets wrong. 
 

The correct solution is given by dsolve, which is y=0 and y=constant (I do not know why dsolve put minus sign in front of the constant, but it is still correct).

I can't understand this behavior. Any idea why it happens?

Solve is able to solve equation   f(y)=x+A for y, but can't solve   f(y)=x for y.

This is unexpected for me. I do not see why it can solve it when RHS is x+A but not when RHS is just x.

I can trick it to solve  f(y)=x for y  by asking it to solve f(y)=x+A for y and then set A=0 in the solution. But one should not have to do this. Is this a bug or Am I missing something?

Why Maple gives this error on solving first order linear ode using ODESteps?

I never used Maple's StringTools:-RegSubs before.

I have a Latex string generated by Maple that has this form

"......    \\textrm{ ......   }  .... "

Where the dots mean anything, including space characters.  I need to change the part of the string  "\\textrm{ ...... }" to this

"......  \\begin{minipage}{\\linewidth}\\textrm{  ......   }\\end{minipage}  .... "

It is easy to change the opening part. Here is an example

s:="A& B& \\textrm{The fundamental matrix has } &C ";
s:=StringTools:-SubstituteAll(s,"\\textrm{","\\begin{minipage}{\\linewidth}\\textrm{");

Gives

The problem is how to replace the closing "}"  with "}\\end{minipage}".   I can't just replace "}" with "}\\end{minipage}" using SubstituteAll because I need to only change the "}" that closes the corresponding "\\textrm{" and not any other "}" that could be in the string.

So I need to use pattern matching or regular expression substitutions. The examples in help are not easy to understand.

Basically I need regular expression that matches 

                        "\\textrm{ WILDCARD * }" 

and change it to 

                        "\\begin{minipage}{\\linewidth}\\textrm{ WILDCARD * }\\end{minipage}" 

Any one know how to use Maple's egular expression to do this substitution using the above example?

Update

Thanks for the replies. I ended up writing small function that simply scan the string and do the replacement. 

I was attempting to remove part of string using StringTools:-Remove()

But it causes server.exe crash each time.

Any idea why this happens?
