actually, it does do back reference for REGXPs. use {} to denote the
reference, and use \1...\n to reference them in your replacement string.

Yes, perhaps. But it's a pretty lame implementation of Regular Expressions,
missing many of the most important parts, like the ability to include the
FOUND string in the REPLACE string.
For example,
There is no easy way to turn this:
<BOLD>some text which might say anything</BOLD>
into this:
<EM>some text which might say anything</EM>
There's also no 'non-greedy' searching.
Same criticisms apply for the rereplace() functions.
For complex (ie really useful) RegExp operations, put your files on a UNIX
box and use any UNIX editor, OR get a copy of UltraEdit, or some similar
programmers' editor. I normally use CFStudio, but when there's some
heavy-duty replacing to do, I use UltraEdit.
Just my two-bits...

Whoa there -- Studio DOES do wildcard search and replace! It even does
(it's own version of) Regular Expressions! Take a look at "EXTENDED" search
and replace!
