Using grouping with regular expressions
All the regular expressions described previously relate to finding a certain string of text within your documents.
But after you??™ve located a particular string using regular expressions, how can you use that particular
string in the Replace With field? For example, the following list of names:
n John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt
n James T. Kirk
n Cara Fishman
can be rearranged so that the last name is first, separated by a comma, like this:
n Schmidt, John Jacob Jingleheimer
n Kirk, James T.
n Fishman, Cara
Dreamweaver enables replacement of regular expressions through grouping expressions. Grouping is perhaps
the single most powerful concept in regular expressions. With it, any matched text pattern is easily
manipulated. To group a text pattern, enclose it in parentheses in the Find text field. Regular expressions
can manage up to nine grouped patterns. In the Replace text field, each grouped pattern is designated by a
dollar sign ($) in front of a number (1??“9) that indicates the position of the group.
