Win XP SP3. Using $1 in "replace with" field ends matching.
Left file:
tag is 3I
using tag=3I
Right file:
tag is 3J
using tag=3J
I wanted a single text replacement to look for "(=| )3I" (left side) and replace it with "<matching char>3J"
so that "=3I" would equate to "=3J" and " 3I" equates to " 3J"
The RE expression on left is correct and matching occurs, as long as I am explicit on the right. When I add the $1 on the right, it no longer matches.
Thanks
