Pretty simple problem just never encountered it before.
Say I'm replacing address information in a set of test data I have with different values. Simple stuff except that in one case I have a capture group that is to be followed directly after by a number. e.g.
Regex - \d*(/?)\d (.*) Text - 123 Main Street [should become] 72 Main Street 1/3 Main Street [should become] 7/2 Main Street Replace - 7$1B $2 <- works fine 7$12 $2 <- tries to replace with group $12 rather than $1 Anyone know how to define these as separate without introducing any whitespace or other characters?

How to use RegEx with . replace in JavaScript. To use RegEx, the first argument of replace will be replaced with regex syntax, for example /regex/ . This syntax serves as a pattern where any parts of the string that match it will be replaced with the new substring.
Capturing groups are a way to treat multiple characters as a single unit. They are created by placing the characters to be grouped inside a set of parentheses. For example, the regular expression (dog) creates a single group containing the letters "d" "o" and "g" .
To use Find and Replace in Sublime Text 3, you can either click “Find” in the top-bar, then select “Replace” from the list, or you can press the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+H – the same way it works in, for example, Microsoft Office Word.
You can try other substitutions like ${1} instead of $1
