Dreamweaver regular expression substitution followed by number
- by mark
Hi. I'm using Dreamweaver to update copyright dates across my site. I want to preserve the existing spacing (or lack thereof) between years. Examples:
© 2002-2008 should update to © 2002-2009
© 2003 - 2008 should update to © 2003 - 2009
This is the regular expression I'm using to accomplish this in Dreamweaver's find & replace function
Find:
©\s*(\d{4}\s*-\s*)\d{3}[^9]
Replace:
© $1 2009
Here's the PROBLEM:
This expression works, but has that that extra space between the hyphen and 2009. If I write the replace expression without the space, as © $12009 then dreamweaver looks for the 12,009th substitution in the find expression, and, not finding one, prints $12009.
Any ideas?
