Microsoft Word's find/replace feature seems like it is many-to-one.
Suppose that we have a word document numbers surrounded by parentheses, such as (6)
and we want to remove the parentheses and place a dot at the end, such as 6.
Suppose we open up find/replace. We then enter in the following options:
FIND WHAT: (^#)
REPLACE WITH: 5.
The above will have the following effect:
.--------.-------.
| BEFORE | AFTER |
.--------.-------.
| (1) | 5. |
.--------.-------.
| (2) | 5. |
.--------.-------.
| (3) | 5. |
.--------.-------.
| (4) | 5. |
.--------.-------.
How can we insert the matched pattern in the output/result?
I want to do something like this:
## (5)
## becomes
## AAAA(5).1234
FIND WHAT: (^#)
REPLACE WITH: AAAA^MATCHED_PATTERN.1234
## AAAA(5).1234
## becomes
## 5).1234
FIND WHAT: AAAA(
REPLACE WITH:
## 5).1234
## becomes
## 5.
FIND WHAT: ).1234
REPLACE WITH:
