    Add groups to the pattern - <date>(d{4})(d{2})(d{2})</date> and replace with <previously-shown start="$1-$2-$3"></previously-shown>

  • You did not describe the problem -- only what you did. I notice that you have not added any matching groups, so 3 etc refer to nothing. To create a matching group, surround it with parentheses.

  • Solved. I had to create groups. <date>(d{4})(d{2})(d{2})</date> <previously-shown start="$1-$2-$3"></previously-shown>

Add capturing groups to the pattern and change the order of the backreferences in the replacement:



Find What: <date>(d{4})(d{2})(d{2})</date>
Replace With: <previously-shown start="$1-$2-$3"></previously-shown>



See the regex demo.

Question : What is the origin of the phrase "under your belt"? A google search revealed some webpages (e.g. [1]) that assert its origin is related to consumption of food -- once a meal has been eaten, it's under your belt (which is a relief). However, with such websites, I have no way to determine fact from "random guy on the internet making stuff up". etymology idioms ...
