Back-ref capturing groups in multirename regex replacement

#1 Post by kino » 15.04.2015, 15:00

As is (build 690), in multi rename functionality, the "Replace with" field doesn't seem to accept back-references to regex capturing groups defined in "Search for" field, as discussed in :

http://forum.freecommander.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=2189

This capability would make multi rename extremely (more) powerful (!)

Thanks

My bad, functionality is already available :
FC XE uses Perl-style capturing groups back referencing (e.g. : $1) vs. Java-style (e.g. : \1)
Can't seem to find it in the fine manual though.
Nice, anyway.
