Having 10 or more groups and want to reference group 1 in RegEx
Q: This regex rename is under the unzip…
My intent is to fix the lack of a leading zero in the MM field of the file name but limagito is seeing it as capture group 10, not capture group 1 with a zero after it.
Escaping the zero didn’t work either. Is there something else i could have done?
I eventually hard coded the 2025, because hopefully this is a 1 off error anyway.
A: You’ve identified a classic regex gotcha! When you have 10 or more groups and want to reference group 1 followed by a literal “0”, the regex engine interprets `\10` as group 10 instead of group 1 + “0”.
# Instead of: \10# Use: \g<1>0
If you need any help with this ‘reference group 1 in RegEx’ question, please let us know.
