Hi, I've tried to use the standard backreference for regular expressions (\1) in the "Replace with:" field of jEdit's Search and Replace with no success. I also tried to use variations of the common sintax for most regex-oriented languages like Perl or Ruby, which is something like this:

s/<span id=\"([^\"]*)\">/Value is equal to \1/g

But had no success.

Do you know if jEdit implement a different kind of backreference or if it really doesn't implement it at all? If so, wouldn't it be nice to have it?

Thanks!
