How To: Regex (Regular Expression) in Application Designer (Not in Peoplecode)

Hi

I was able to use a regex pattern in the search/replace (ctrl+H) functionality in the Peoplecode Editor in Application Designer (PT8.50)

I typed as search ".*%bind\(:(\w+)\).*" and replaced it with  "&var = '$1'". I'm not sure if I used "$1" or "\1", I believe it was "$1" as "\1" didn't result in the desired result.

The problem is, is that I don't recall what I did to be able to use the regex pattern as each try I do results in "Finished searching....."

Any in the MOSC has been able to use regex's inside AppDesigner?

Cheers
