Replace using Capture Variables #35

Closed andry81 closed 9 months ago

andry81 commented 9 months ago

Trying to renumber the ini keys from https://github.com/daddel80/notepadpp-multireplace/issues/31 with new syntax:

Find what:

^(button|cmd|param|path|iconic|menu)\d*=

Replace with:

init({BTTNCNT=0}); if "$1" == "button" then BTTNCNT=BTTNCNT+1 end; set("$1"..BTTNCNT.."=")

But it does not seem to work.

The set always returns .0=.

Hi andry81,

You were pretty close to the result. Just replace $1 with CAP1. The issue here is that $1 will not be resolved in the "Use Variables" environment. Therefore, it cannot be used in conditions or calculations. $1 can be passed through set and cond functions, and it is Notepad++ that finally resolves it. However, this can also cause trouble if you concatenate $1 with a trailing number. So, always use CAP1 instead of $1.

Besides that, there is also a CNT variable. But your solution is better for your purposes!

Here is the correction:

Find what:

^(button|cmd|param|path|iconic|menu)\d*=

Replace with:

init({BTTNCNT=0}); if CAP1 == "button" then BTTNCNT=BTTNCNT+1 end; set(CAP1..string.format("%.0f", BTTNCNT).."=")

I will go to make the difference more clear in the README between $x and CAPx Variables.
