REG_REPLACE with Backreferences

[Sensemann]

Currently I'm working on an Export Template for the HD and want each quotation mark at the end of a word to be replaced by a " '' ". My idea is to use this REG_REPLACE:


<--REG_REPLACE--><--REGSTRING-->([a-z])"<--/REGSTRING--><--REPSTRING-->\1''<--/REPSTRING--><--/REG_REPLACE-->

But unfortunately it seems that the HD does not understand the backreference " /1 ".
In this post (http://www.herogames.com/forums/showpost.php?p=273692&postcount=35) Killer Shrike proposed a regex with this backreference functionality. Was backreference supported by an earlier version of the HD? Has anyone an alternative solution? I don't want to use 26 replace lines, one for each alphabetic character.

Thanks for helping!

1. I'm pretty sure that you don't want to do that....unless you've gone through all of your HTML code in the template and replaced the double quotes with single quotes....

2. try $1 for the first backreference.....IIRC, that's the format that Java looks for in its handling of regex.

Nothing has changed in HD's handling of regex.

Hi Simon,
thanks for your fast respons. Yes, I want to replace every double quotes with single quotes. I'm working on an export template for LaTeX, and with the german language pack a phrase like '... "Astral" und' would be changed to '... Ästral ünd' :nonp:.
But thanks for your help, it's working fine now.
