Description Pavel Selitskas [wizardist] 2010-07-24 13:39:52 UTC 
The RegExp engine of JavaScript supports substitution of matching sub-expressions given in parentheses. And Search&Replace interface supports sub-expressions in 'Search for' field as well. But the 'Replace with' field doesn't support any escape sequences to substitute matching sub-expressions back to the resulting output. Those are %1,%2 (like in JS), \1,\2 (like in sed), etc.

Implementing escape sequences for this stuff would be great.
