Re: Replace regexp question

[Leandro Marcolino]

Thank you very much for all the replies!.. :) But, maybe my example was too
simplistic.... hehe

I want to file occurrences of "<span lang=ZH-CN
>&#31169;&#31169;&#31169;</span><span lang=PT-BR", but the number of
&#31169; can be one or more, and replae by "<span lang=ZH-CN
style='letter-spacing:-5px'>&#31169;&#31169;&#31169;</span><span
lang=PT-BR".

If I try: "<span lang=ZH-CN >\(&#31169;+\)</span><span lang=PT-BR -> <span
lang=ZH-CN style='letter-spacing:-5px'>\1</span><span lang=PT-BR" then no
pattern is found
If I try: "<span lang=ZH-CN >\(&#31169;\)+</span><span lang=PT-BR -> <span
lang=ZH-CN style='letter-spacing:-5px'>\1</span><span lang=PT-BR" then the
sequence of &#31169; changes to a single &#31169;.

Is there a way to solve this problem?...

Thank you very much!..

Thanks,
Leandro
