Replace using Regular Expressions

[Worker]

When using the Find & Replace dialog to find text based on a Regular Expression, is there a way to use part of the found text in the "Replace with" box?

For example, in TextPad, you can use the following:

Text to find: '([A-Za-z ]+)'
Replace with: ""

The parentheses 'tag' the text, and using "\1" you can reference the 1st 'tag'. This would end up replacing all single quotes surrounding text with double quotes.

Is this possible in PL/SQL Developer? If not, can it go on the enhancement list?

This is currently not possible. I have added it to the list of enhancement requests.
