Regex F&R problem?
I had noticed in the past that the regex count and replace numbers didn't always match and decided to look into it.
The reason for this disparity is that the count notes each instance of the regex match while the replace function replaces only the first match in any given paragraph. Ergo, the count difference. This is not true for a "normal" F&R.
No big problem if you are aware of this anomaly. Just re-run the F&R until none are replaced.
I hope this isn't old hat but I haven't seen anything on it and a search didn't turn up anything.
