Using find replace box to append occurances
I need to find/replace or append on the end of a images ending eq#.jpg where the # can be either single or double number.
Looking throught the help eq[0-9].jpg and eq[0-9][0-9].jpg work fine to find these occurrance but how do I say append some text at the end of these occurances? having browsed through https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=237181 it seems this should be easily possible but I'd like to do so by filling in the find replace tool: a bit like wildcards of ancient times past obviously what I filled in the replace section did not work! |

With regular expressions you can put parenthesis around something to save it then in the replacement text use \1 to insert the saved text. If you use [0-9]+ that matches 1 or more digits so try "eq([0-9]+).jpg" as the Find string and "eq\1.jpg added bit here" for the replacement text.
Also, in the Find text a period matches any single character so you should put a \ in front of it to force it to match the period. |
