Request: Add the ability to use regular expression backreferences to the text replace and replace in files capabilities.
Detail: In the Edit->Replace dialog box, the use of regular expressions is supported for the Find field, including the use of groups and backreferences. However, the backreferences are NOT supported in the Replace With field.
Example: I have a set of numbers which I need to change to literal strings in a piece of code. The following replace settings (with regular expressions and replace codes enabled) does not but should work:
Find: ^(110dd)
Replace with: "1"
Support regular expression backreferences

Support regular expression backreferences
I'd like that as well. See the request I submitted a while ago at http://www.sapien.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=182
