regex in Replace(3) box

Postby jimdaug » Thu Nov 07, 2024 5:41 pm

I can't seem to get regex to work in the Replace section, not even the exact syntax copied out of the help file. For example, the help file says to use Replace: \regex\(\d{5}) with: A$1 which should replace the first 5 characters with "A" and the first 5 characters, but the preview doesn't show anything happened.

I figured it out. I wasn't thinking and didn't realize \d{5} only works on numbers.
