OpenXmlRegex Is it possible to do a replacement being a regex pattern?

Hi, Eric:

Thanks for your work.

Is it possible to do a replacement in OpenXmlRegex.Replace with the replacement string being a pattern too?
Let’s put an example:

content="$95"
pattern ="($)([0-9]+)"
replacement="$2 $1"

I am expecting
result="95 $"
but I’m getting
result="$2$1"

How can I get my desired result?
Is there any place in the source code I can make a replacement within a pattern?

Thank you very much

Hi,

Sorry for the slow response – have been on vacation, and dealing with illness of a family member.

Currently, the scenario you describe is not a feature of OpenXmlRegex. It is a great idea, though. I have added it to the list of possible enhancements to OpenXmlRegex.

Best, Eric

Hi, again, Eric.

So sorry for the illnes of your family member.

Is it currently possible to make find and replace statements using wildcards like in MS Word?
Is not a real regex, but something is better than nothing.

Could you give me some guidelines to implement myself regex replace? Maybe some place in the code that would be a start point…

Thank you very much for all of your work in the PowerTools project.
