Commenting a script

Hi! I usually edit my scripts with a text editor. In the old TextCrawl format I used to comment some lines at the beginning to add a brief explanation and instructions. For example: // Numbers to months // This script converts numbers to months. E.g. #01 to January // Make sure to use UTF8 enconding...

Re: $1 vs \1

Could it be that $1 is not working in the second example because I am using it in the same expression as the captured text? In the first case I used it in the Replace field.

Matching beginning of line

Hello! I am trying to write a regex that deletes all lines that do not begin with an HTML tag. In my text editor (Editpad) I would write it like this: ^[^<].+?\r\n But in TextCrawler ^ only matches the beginning of the file, not every line.
