Regex doesn't match and replace groups.

[Chriswaterguy]

I've tried matching groups, so that I can change the order of characters in my titles. E.g. if I want to move FOO from the start to the end, I might do Existing: FOO(.+) Replacement: $1FOO

But the preview shows no change.

I have also tried with \1 and \1 instead of $1.

Well, I can work on it, Could you help me to add some specific cases so I can verify the results?

Since existing libraries have a different implementation of RegExp

Ideally, results will include -> Existing, Replacement

Since existing libraries have a different implementation of RegExp

Could we have exactly the same flavour as the Obsidian search function? That would minimise confusion.

Thanks!

So, here is the Status update:

• RegExp is not currently fully supported for Existing or Replacement

However, I'm working on making it work there too.

Ok, I made it work going to release it today or tomorrow!
