Hi-
I need to change a number of timestamps so that the final separator is a period instead of a colon.
So eg.
0:00:01:14
becomes
0:00:01.14
I haven't been able to come up with the correct RE syntax to find the 3rd colon. Any help would be very much appreciated!
Thanks-
-Susan

Here is one way to do it:
Use "Posix" regular expression syntax:
Configure | Preferences | Editor
[X] Use POSIX regular expression syntax
Search | Replace... (
<F8>):
Find what: \<([0-9]{1,2}:[0-9]{1,2}:[0-9]{1,2}+):([0-9]+)
Replace with: \1.\2
[X] Regular expression
Replace All

Here is another:
Find what: ([0-9]:[0-9][0-9]:[0-9][0-9]):([0-9][0-9])
Replace with: \1.\2
