I just tried to do a find&replace operation with regular expressions find: ([^\,]+), (^\/) replace with: \2 \1
which should basically look for certain entries in the shortauthor field and change the order of their first and second names. However, while the "find" part works fine BibDesk will actually do the substitution with the numbers "2" and "1" and not interpret \2 as the value of the content of the second parir of parentheses (and \1 accordingly). Cant the replace-field understand reg exps or did I miss something? alex ============================================= please avoid sending me word attachements; see http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/no-word-attachments.html for details and background ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
