Description Michael Jenkins 2025-01-28 07:05:30 UTC 
SUMMARY

I have a file with the filename:
00 0000 00.txt

(1) For Find and Replace,
I can type, the lookahaed function:
Find = \s(?=\d(4})
Replace = X

So that, when I select "Okay",
The Proposed Filename correctly appears:
00X0000 00.txt

(2) For Find and Replace,
I can type, the lookback function:
Find = (?<=\d(4})\s
Replace = X

However, when I select "Okay",
The Proposed Filename incorrectly appears:
00 0000 00.txt

When, the correct result would  be:
00 0000X00.txt

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

OBSERVED RESULT

The lookback function appears to not work.
I have tested the lookahead and lookback functions, several times.
The lookahead function always works.
The lookback function never works.

Please Help.

EXPECTED RESULT
