So far as

Which is correct please?

Do you only use so far as with a negation?


He’s gone so far as doing/to do that to her.

I’ll go so far as to press charges/pressing charges.

thanks

"So far as" is usually used in legal-type situations. "As far as" is used otherwise. For example: I'll go so far as to press charges if this continues.
