I just noticed I can't use backreferences in regex replace. I have this regex to mach lines like Alas, with replace field equal to e.g. this line -- correctly recognized -- is replaced with the very same "replace" value, i.e. instead of expected Could you please look into it?

You should put the capture groups in brackets, then you can use them as backreferences:

(\d{2}) - (\d{2})

You are absolutely right! I forgot about brackets Thank you!
