There may already be a discussion of this that I've overlooked, but if not:
I have been using RegEx in various contexts for many years, but am stumped by trying to replace a pattern followed by a digit in MarcEdit. For example (a made up one), say I want to find all the instances of 246 tags with a second indicator of [blank] and change the second indicator to 3, so I could look for (\=246  .)\ and in NoteTab, my replace with statement would be $1\3. The result would be =246  13 or =246 33, but in MarcEdit, I would get =246  1\3 or =246  3\3; not escaping the 3 gives me a literal: $13. I don't see a solution in the MarcEdit help, but perhaps someone here could share it. Thanks!
