Hello everyone,

I'm trying to use regex for dynamic id remplacement but I got some error that I don't know how to fix, that's why I'm asking for help.

I've seen somewhere in this website that Sigil use PCRE.

Regex pattern :

Code:

<a id=\"(.*)?\">([\W\s]*)?([\w]+)( ([ \?*])+)?((, )?(.*)?([A-Z])(.*))?<\/a>

Replace pattern :

Code:

<a id="\3\9">\2\3\4\6</a>

Test string :

Code:

<a id="">Anzil ou Auzil, Jacques d’</a>

The result I want :

Code:

<a id="AnzilJ">Anzil ou Auzil, Jacques d’</a>

But the result I got :

Code:

<a id="AJ">Anzil ou Auzil, Jacques d’</a>

Note that this regex work with https://regex101.com and https://regexr.com.
Sigil version : 0.9.10.
