Thank you for your help! I guess it is the notion of "capturing" that is confusing for me. How do you indicate that a string is what needs to be modified, rather than just "identifying" it? is it the parens as you have it:
(\d{2}) is the first capture
(\d{4}) is the second capture
And if so, what is the syntax to show that those should be inverted?
I ask because I tried plugging in just
(d{2}) (d{4}) for search AND
(d{4}) (d{2}) for test
and it's not changing anything (in the "your test" field, at least).
Really appreciate your help!
