Regular Expression help, please.

Can one line RegExReplace code do this job? How?

Add 10 to all numbers leading with "x" in the text:

Text: aa x1.2 bb x2.3 cc x45 ddd x1.2 ee x8
to: aa x11.2 bb x12.3 cc x55 ddd x11.2 ee x18

Thanks!

Code: Select all

Text = aa x1.2 bb x2.3 cc x45 ddd x1.2 ee x8
while pos := RegExMatch(Text, "x(\d+)", m, A_Index=1?1:pos+StrLen(m))
	Text := RegExReplace(Text, "x\K\d+", m1+10,, 1, pos)

MsgBox % text

Thank you AlphaBravo! It works perfectly!

What is the function of "K" in "x\K\d+"? I cannot find it from the help file.

The escape sequence \K is similar to a look-behind assertion because it causes any previously-matched characters to be omitted from the final matched string. For example, foo\Kbar matches "foobar" but reports that it has matched "bar".

Thank you all! Have a great weekend!
