So the 7th and 8th characters are 0 and 8, and you want to replace that with
4 and 2?
REReplace(mystring, "(?m)^(.{6})08","\1 42","ALL")
This is the closest I can get except I can't get CF to treat "\142" as
backreference 1 & "42". A workaround would to call ReReplace twice:
result = REReplace(mystring, "(?m)^(.{6})08","\1xBUGx","ALL");
result = REReplace(result, "(?m)xBUGx","42","ALL");
Maybe some regex god can find a better solution without having to make the
duplicate REReplace() call.
