This has happened twice now...

regex search in all HTML files for:

Code:

([a-z])'([a-z])

and another search for:

Code:

([a-z])- ([a-z])

in both cases, the replace value was

Code:

\1\2

and in both cases, it replaced the found strings with "\1\2" instead of the appropriate references.

for what it's worth, for the following S/R, there were no problems:

Code:

S: <span class="italic">(.*?)</span>
R: <i>\1</i>

so it may be just a question of using multiple references...
