My Ctrl+Space help tells me to use
- (U) to mark U as capturing group
- \i in the Find field to refer to the capturing group number i
- $i in the Replace With field to refer to the capturing group number i
In your scenario you would use (...) to declare a group in the Find
field and $1 in the Replace With field to refer to the first group.
