Regular Expression back-reference Find/Replace in SQL Developer 4.0

Philip Moore

I cannot seem to get the Search/Replace functionality to use back-references with Regular Expressions in 4.0.  This worked fine in 3.0.

Text in my editor:

abc

Example:

Find: (a)(bc)

Replace:

\1\1\1\2

Should result in:

aaabc

Instead I get:

\1\1\1\2

This still isn't fixed in 4.0.2 - I'll try to find time to put in MOS as a bug...
