Excellent program! I love the idea of combining multiple rules into groups. It really increases my productivity. However, I have problem running regular expression for some cases. For example, I want to run this regex, (?s)(\[\/mp4\])(?!.*(?1)), to find the last mp4 tag. It works on regex101.com but not on your extension (nor the other extension called Find and Replace for Text Editing). But when I change the regex to (\[\/mp4\](?![\s\S]*\[\/mp4\])), it works on the mentioned extension but not on yours. Perhaps you can give me an idea where you test your regex. Thanks! PS: The Highlight function doesn't work.

感謝開發套件,非常好用。 有一個BUG期待修正:當我建立十多個以上的規則後,規則最右邊的三個點按鈕,點擊無法打開,已致於無法關閉或刪除規則。 2024/3/18 進度更新:作者已完全修正BUG,沒有問題非常完美,很謝謝作者快速修正。

Hi there. I have found this tool extremely useful but have come across one issue. When I hit "run all," for some reason the first instance of the "input" text is not replaced but every subsequent instance is. Any ideas why this might be occurring?
