Hey Melissa,
When I was playing around with this yesterday I had to do some looking to
figure out a couple of things.
BBEdit handles up to 99 capture patterns.
You can run into issues if you're tying to input a number behind a single-digit
capture.
Simple Example Text:
110
Non-working example of trying to transform '110' into '1110':
Find: (^\d{2})
Replace: \11
Working example of trying to transform '110' into '1110':
Find: (^\d{2})
Replace: \011
'\01' uses up both possible digits of the capture-space and allows '1' to be
dropped into the end of the replace pattern. Otherwise the regex engine would
see '\11' as the 11th capture pattern (which doesn't exist) and replace the
found text with nothing.
