Replace text using regex in RAD Studio

Tags:

I want to replace for example F(G(X,Y)); with H(X,Y); In RAD Studio IDE.

The regex I use is:

Find Expression: F\(G\((.+)\)\); Replace Expression: H($1)

The result is not as I expect:

Result: H($1)

It seems the RAD Studio does not recognize the $1 as the contents between two parentheses.
Anybody have an idea?
Thanks

Use {} to group the expression rather than () and \1 in the replacement text:

Find Expression: F\(G\({.+}\)\); Replace Expression: H(\0)
