Replaces first 1-2 times then does not replace

[zeshanshani]

Hi guys, first of all, thank you so much for this great package!

Secondly, I am facing a strange issue that when I run the replacement function for the first 1-2 times, it works perfectly fine. Then suddenly for no reason, it stops working. What I am trying to do is to replace a number value using Regex to the timestamp.

The strange thing is that, when I change the value in my Gulpfile to anything else and then run the code, it works perfectly.

Here is my code:

gulp.task('cacheClear', () => {
    var date = new Date(),
        year = date.getFullYear(),
        month = date.getMonth(),
        day = date.getDate(),
        time = date.getTime(),
        today = year + ( month + 1 ) + day + time;

    return gulp
        .src( 'functions.php' ) // Only run on changed files.
        .pipe( replace( /(define\(\s'ZAWPCACHEDATE', )(.+)(\s\);)/g, '$1' + today + '$3' ) )
        .pipe( gulp.dest( './' ) )
        .pipe( notify({ message: '\n\n✅  ===> CACHE — cleared!\n', onLast: true }) );
});

And the string I am matching is this:

define( 'ZAWPCACHEDATE', 1588786823051 );

And the replacement number is this:

1588786823051

What could it be? Permission issue or some setting perhaps?

It would be great if you can help me with this. Thank you so much in advance!

Hmm, like it only replaces in the first couple files? Or only replaces the first couple matches? Try to create a CodePen/repository/failing test reproducing the problem and re-open this issue if you can repro it.
