I want to do
"s/^let (\w+) = /\t276\t\1\t/"
but j regex (pcre) rxrplc does not product correct result. It seems
cannot understand \ in the substitution part. replace \t by actual
value of TAB only solves part of the problem, the backreference \1
does not take any effect and is regarded as literal '\1'. What is the
correct way to do it?
require 'regex'
('^let (\w+) = ';'\t276\t\1\t') rxrplc 'craction 2',LF,'let A0 = 123',LF
('^let (\w+) = ';TAB,'276',TAB,'\1',TAB) rxrplc 'craction 2',LF,'let A0 =
123',LF
