Subject: Replace regexp question
Date: Fri, 7 Jun 2013 23:11:24 -0700 (PDT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1370671883916-288179.post@n5.nabble.com> (raw)

Hello, all!..

I am trying to add text after multiple occurrences of a group, but it is not
working. For example, if I try to change the following: "aaaaaa" to
"aaaaaab", I end up with "ab"...

I am looking for the regexp: \(a\)+ and I replace by \1b. But then the
sequence of a's is reduced to a single "a". How can I make the final text
have the same number of occurrences of the group as the original text?..

Thank you very much for your help!..

Regards,
Leandro
