Dreamweaver Regex question

[Servyces]

Hi all,

I'm in the process of re-coding a script to work without register_globals.
I want to use the search and replace function from Dreamweaver to speed things up.

Now, I have the following regex search pattern which works pretty well:

\$[A-Za-z0-9]+

What I want to do is replace the string with $_POST[''] around it and the $ stripped, however, I can't seem to get this done as I can't find a way to re-use the string found in the replace pattern. I tried $1 ($1) $ and such, but no luck, it just literally puts the whole regex as replace text.

Is there any trick to use the found string again in the replace pattern?

Thanks.

This should work:

Search Regex:

\$([A-Za-z0-9]+)

Replace Regex:

$_POST['$1']

Let me know if that works

Ah, that works. Forgot the parenthesis's. Thanks.
