The second option. We're using Perl regexp, which uses $0, $1, $2, ...
for placeholders rather than \0, \1, \2,... That has bit me several
times as well ;-) Also, you may want to use (\d*) instead of (\d).

[Bibdesk-users] bug in find & replace?
Hi,
using today's nightly:
make a new bibliography
add these two items:
@article{Featherstone:1987zr,
Author = {Featherstone, Kevin},
Date-Added = {2008-10-05 12:16:31 +0200},
Date-Modified = {2008-10-05 12:17:32 +0200},
Pages = {6-7},
Title = {PASOK and the Left}}
@article{Morlino:1995ys,
Author = {Morlino, Leonardo},
Date-Added = {2008-10-05 12:16:27 +0200},
Date-Modified = {2008-10-05 12:17:26 +0200},
Pages = {1-2},
Title = {Political Parties and Democratic Consolidation in Southern
Europe}}
open the find & replace window
do a find & replace operation in the field PAGES with a REG EXP
replacing (\d)\-(\d) with \1\--\2 (goal is to change the single
minus in the page range by a double one)
execute (either by "replace all" of by "find & replace")
the result will be to have the exactly identical page range with a
double minus in both entries, thus killing the correct information in
the respectively second entry
Bug or me not using reg exps properly?
