One issue is that what you are replacing is contained in what you want to replace WITH, so you need to replace the semicolons that aren't part of the '&' string. You'll need to check the BBEdit manual on this, starting not he bottom of page 187 of the 11.6 manual. "Positional Assertions Positional assertions “anchor” a pattern, without actually matching any characters."
