inserting?

Jun 21, 2012 8:42 AM

I know this should be the most basic thing, but I just can't find anything on it. I find, say, any digit in a text, and want to add a period in front of it. But changing \d to .\d changes all digits to the literal expression .\d (same with \.\d and with putting \d in []). No idea.

 

Thanks a lot in advance

    change (\d) to .$1

     

    In javascript you will have to escape the back-slashes, to it'll be (\\d)

    Hello. Thanks both of you. With that information, I also found out a bit about the use of $0 (multiple characters).

     

    Thanks again
