Replace problem

Poppeye · 11-08-2011, 03:41 AM

Hello,

please consider me an advanced beginner. I want to replace a deceptively simple thing, but I can't find a control code for "same thing as above". (Is there a documentation?)

Search:
Part [A-z]+<br>
[0-9]+<br>

Replace with:
<h2>same thing as above</h2>

Any help is appreciated!

Surround it with Parentheses and then use \1, e.g.:

Code:

(Part [A-z]+)<br>

Code:

<h2>\1</h2>
