Replace in RegEx?

[endelo]

Hey there,

I'm a new customer to Blumentals software, and I'm very pleased with the functionality and features of Rapid PHP. I do have one question however, which pertains to the Search and Replace function. I understand how to Search for a regular expression, but how do you Replace with a regular expression?

For instance, I'm trying to convert every instance of

Code: Select all

function someFunction(arguments) {

to:

Code: Select all

function someFunction(arguments)
{

By way of regular expressions, I can match every case with

Code: Select all

^function ([a-zA-Z0-9][^>]+)\(([a-zA-Z0-9][^>]+)\) \{$

, but I can't seem to get the replace function to keep my subexpressions in tact. I tried using the \1 operator, and it's no go.

Any and all help would be most appreciated.

This has already been covered in these forums. In short: this is a feature yet to come.

Is this feature implemented now?

Not yet. Although it has moved by some 80 positions up in the list of suggestions to be implemented.

Every serious editor should have the possibility for regex replacements.

So... are we there yet?:)

Yes, we are, actually. You can use ( and ) to set up variables and use $1, $2 ... to insert found occurences in the replacement text.

E.g. search for <h1>([^<]*)</h1>, replace with <h2>$1</h2> to change h1 to h2.

As far as I know this is standard perl regexpr use.

Hi I'm a newbie on the regex thing.. Because of the changes in twitter bootstrap I want to change for example col-lg-3, col-lg-4 etc with col-md-3, col-md-4 and so on.
So I tried to enter in the search:

Code: Select all

col-lg-[0-9]

and in the replace

Code: Select all

col-md-$1

But this doesn't seem to work.. Can you point me to the right usage? Thanks!

You need to replace

col-lg-([0-9])

with

col-md-\1

provided that there is one digit after col-lg-. If there can be a multi-digit number then use col-lg-([0-9]*) instead.

Also, $1, $2 etc was non-standard syntax that was changed to \1, \2 etc. If you want to learn more about regular expressions, this is a good site: http://www.regular-expressions.info/
