Find and Replace bookmark text - regex
In the Find and Replace bookmark text panel you can enter a regular expression in the Find What? box but there does not seem to be any way to use the text found in the Replace With box.
In other words it seems that you can only out a fixed value in the Replace With box.

Re: Find and Replace bookmark text - regex
Hello Nemo,
Yes - the replace value is 'static', so while you can have a RegEx that will capture several terms and redact them all - but the redacted result will always be the string that you specify in that dialogue.
Kind regards,
Stefan

Re: Find and Replace bookmark text - regex
Hello Stefan,
It would be very useful if the replace box allowed you to reference strings found by the REGEX
e.g. Find What ([A-z0-9]+)([ ]*)([A-z0-9])
Replace With ? $3 $2 $1

Re: Find and Replace bookmark text - regex
Hi Nemo,
we will add this feature. While I do not have an ETA for delivery I have raised a formal Feature Request ticket for this. You cannot access the ticket itself, it is for internal use only, however asking about RT#6042: Feature request :: Editor :: Find and Replace bookmark text - regex in replacement should get you a status report.
The date of delivery of this item will be at the discretion of the development team.
I hope that helps.

Re: Find and Replace bookmark text - regex
It would be useful if the Replace With box was macro-enabled. So that you could use, for example:
$3 $2 $1 %[Page]
$3 $2 $1 %[Page]

In the post on 5 June Dimitar says that the FR status is now "completed" but the current version does is not allow macros to be specified.

Re: Find and Replace bookmark text - regex
Hello, Nemo
Apologies, I believe the Stefan had Regex and Macros confused. You are correct, Macros are not currently supported, I have created a new ticket for that request. do note that I cannot promise implementation, only that our dev team will consider this when they have time to do so.
RT#6477: FR: allow Macro use in "find & replace bookmark text"
