RegEx Named Group example?

Hi!

Please den4b could you explain us how to use named groups for regular expressions in the script editor?.

I was looking for the proper syntax but I didn't found it, also I'm not sure if the scripts runs under pascal-script limitations, or Delphi/object-pascal limitations, could you clarify this too?.

How I could name a simple group like this?:

str        := "Hello World"
rgxPattern := '(Hello)'
rgxReplace := '$1 World'

Thankyou.

Named groups are not supported by the current RegEx engine.

You can only reference groups by their index, i.e. $0, $1, $2, etc.
