Re: [Gprename-users] capture group

[Zurd <zu...@gm...>]

Hi, $1 and $2 (which is called backreference in regular expressions) never
worked. Or should I say, I've never been able to make it work.

If you go into Help -> Contents, there's a note saying :
 "Backreferences with Regular expression cannot be use as $1 is considered
a Perl variable."

There's probably a way to make it work, if you find it, tell us ;-)

Still you can always achieve your desired results by renaming 2 times
instead. Or for a simple backreference regex, maybe just do it in a command
line.
