regexp back reference support in "replace with" field
Last modified: 2003-09-08 16:56:16 UTC
It would be very handy if support for back references in the Replace With field was added. That is, if parenteseis are used to capture a reference, \1 in the Replace With field should replace with the reference found in the parentheseis. This is a std Regexp feature. Example: Replace words with 2 spaces between them with 1 space (except spaces between sentences) Find: "([^.]) " Replace With: "\1 " Currently, back-references are only supported in the Find field.
