      Hey guys,
      I just updated to the newest version, everything used to work fine for me earlier, is it just my problem or somebody else has it also.
      I’ll use an example

      • What I have:0;377
      • What I want it to be:0
      • What I search:(\d);377
      • What I replace:$1 (also tried \1)
      • What I get:
        (yes it’s blank)

      Anybody? Thanks

        Yep, this is happening to me too. It’s unfortunate, I use the regex find and replace every day for my work. (I clean a lot of HTML files.)

            Sorry I don’t have the non-working version anymore. I reinstalled notepad++ 64 bit v 7.5.8 and it seems to be working

              Seems to be working now. Honestly can’t recall if I took an update in the last fifteen days. Thanks for the response!
