I don't know what you're looking to replace the found text with. It won't work if what you're looking for is at the end of a line. It needs a trailing non-digit character to do the match.[grep search=([0-9]*3\.)([^0-9])&replace=\1\2]3. and 13. but not 3.1 or 13.33?[/grep]The frustrating thing about [grep] in WebDNA is figuring out what *doesn't* work. Common assertions like /d for digit or /D for non-digit are simply ignored (treated as the literal string). This is where a basic reference guide listing what's supported would come in handy.
