Hello all,
I'm continuing with my attempts to get to grips with regex searching. I
think I understand the search part of the system as implemented in
TeXworks, but am stuck with the replace part. For example, I recently
wanted to search for
\\(?:\w+)\s+\\tex_(?:\w+):D
(for some LaTeX3 stuff) and replace it with the expression
\\tex_\2:D \\\1
i.e. with the two command sequences interchanged. However, I just get
literal '\1' and '\2' as replacements when I try this (the search itself
is fine). Is there a way to get the matched groups from the search in
the replace part?
