#113 Regex Greek \G replacement term assertion does not work

[Richard Tonsing]

Per Guiguts Regex Quick Reference "\G Convert from transliterated Greek to Unicode until \E".

Also per PPTools/Guiguts/Greek Wiki:

 Replace: [Greek: \GB$1\E] to convert the Greek into beta-code

Neither of these replacements do anything at all. The replacement is identical with the original. Doesn't matter if the original was actually Greek text or beta code text.

Steps to replicate:

1. Menu -> Search & Replace -> Search & Replace
2. Select Regex
3. Enter a search expression such as [Greek: +((.|\n)+?)]
4. Enter a replace expression such as [Greek: \GB$1\E]
5. Click Search
6. Once a target is found then click Replace

The "Steps to replicate" are missing item 0: Open a file containing e.g. "abc [Greek:def] ghi".

Also, the search expression can be simplified considerably, S: "(.)", R: "\G$1\E" is sufficient to show the problem, then the file can simply be "def". (There's also some escaping missing in the S&R already provided.)

Finally, here's the matching console output:
