BUG: Replacement group should ignore consecutive digits

[SpringwellJames]

If you enter a replacement string along the lines of $12$2 the output should be the first matched group followed by a 2 then the second matched group, but it is actually $12 followed by the second matched group. TextCrawler is incorrectly parsing the replacement string, presumably treating the $12 as group 12 rather than group 1 followed by a completely un-related digit 2.

I think this is by design in the .NET regular expression engine.

You can avoid this problem by putting braces around the group number:

Code: Select all

${1}2${2}

hope this helps!

Yes, the braces fix it.

Thanks
