Batch editor - GOOD IDEA, but doesn't work too good on regex

Post by me_suzy »

hello, I have this regex to search and replace with other regex, on Batch Editor.

SEARCH: (content=")(.*?(?<!,))\x20\|?\x20*(.*)

REPLACE BY: $1\l$2,\x20\l$3

Is not working. At all. It's a mess.

@me_suzy have you tried using the built-in "RegEx Tester"?

Also, can you elaborate on what you are trying to do? (break down each command for the find and replace with an example so we know what the final result should look like vs what you are getting).

Looks like you have 4 groups in the find, but only want to reference 3 groups in the replace

If you can attach (or upload to dropbox, google drive, etc and shareable url here) either photo or short screen video showing what you want?
