Description Unknown 2003-01-29 10:06:07 UTC 
It would be very handy if support for back references in the Replace With field
was added.  That is, if parenteseis are used to capture a reference, \1 in the
Replace With field should replace with the reference found in the parentheseis.
 This is a std Regexp feature.
Example:  Replace words with 2 spaces between them with 1 space (except spaces
between sentences)
Find: "([^.])  "
Replace With: "\1 "

Currently, back-references are only supported in the Find field.
