In a Search RegEx - how do I specify where the Caret goes?
Submitted by FatDog on Thursday, 21 April, 2011 - 15:19
I am looking for strings like:

"The Angry Squrl" [1/8]

I know how to do the RegEx - but when I search - the Caret is left at the beginning of the matched string. I want the Caret to be in a specific place so I can add things.

In the above example - I need the caret to be before the "[" character.

Is there a special character I can put into a search string that tells Jedt where to put the Caret if found?

My RegEx that finds the string is as follows:

\w+"\s+\[\d

I don't think so. Have You ever heard about such a thing in other programs?
