Not all regex replacement placeholders work #470

Closed Coldblackice closed 3 months ago

I love my grepWin, utilizing it every day. On grepWin v2.0.15.1232 (likely other versions), however, not all regex replacement placeholders work explained via F1 help work. Namely:

"$`" / "${^PREMATCH}"
"$'" / "${^POSTMATCH}"
"$+{NAME}"
"${now}"

...most useful being those first two placeholders. Is it possible to fix?

they all work for me just fine. However in the test dialog, ${now} doesn't work (the other work in the test dialog as well)

please test again, and if it doesn't work for you I need an example, meaning the original text, the regex to search for and the replacement text, and then what you would expect as the result.
