Search / replace

[Mike Bonner]

If you want do the search/replace with regex, you can do similar to this..

   put replaceText(field "Field","(?<=\d)\[","-") into tTmp
   put replaceText(tTmp,"(?<!\d)\[",empty) into tComplete

This does a look behind.

First setup the look behind with (?<=\d)  This will match a digit, but
only a digit that is next to the \[ that is outside the parens.
Basically, if finds the [ then checks to see if there is a digit to
the left. If there is, it does the replace of the [.

The first is a positive look behind, meaning it will match if the
string in parens exist. The 2nd is a negative look behind that will
match for any [ that do NOT have a digit to the left of the [.

Works really well.

helpful if a bit obtuse to understand) check here.
