Regular Expressions Not Working
SMazTX > 2023-07-16 04:18
I'm using QCE v1.1.1 which was installed on Windows 11 using the installer.
I'm trying to reformat a phone number from (999) 123-4567 to 999-123-4567 before pasting.
Find RegEx is: /.(\d{3}). (\d{3})-(\d{4})/
I've tried both of the following for replace: $1-$2-$3 and $1\-$2\-$3
Nothing happens when I click on Go.
This combination functions as I expected at regex101.com -

Hi and welcome to the forum.
I'm far from being a Regex expert and could not explain why your expression does not work but this one worked:
Find: ^.*(\d{3})[^\d]*(\d{3})[^\d]*(\d{4})$
Replace: $1-$2-$3 -

Thanks Jean! I guess I just needed to be a bit more explicit in my Find Regex. I'll keep that in mind for future reference. -
