Find and Replace with regex doesn't find every occurrence

[tiffle]

This is a bit off a long shot but a while back there was a long discussion about problems with the use of variables in Search/Replace actions. I'm not going to repeat it here but I will link to the solution I came up with (a KM subroutine macro) which also provides a link to the discussion I'm referring to.

My thinking is that you may be running into a similar problem so you might benefit from looking at the discussion/solution to see if it might help you...

Subroutine to Perform Search/Replace Using Variable Patterns

A user was trying to perform Search/Replace operations using regex patterns stored in KM Variables and ran into a problem as discussed in depth here: It turns out that if the patterns contain capture groups and their replacement tokens then using KM variables to store these patterns won't work since it would require KM to apply token expansion twice (once for the variable token and secondly for the string held in said variable). In any case a solution was found and I've created a generally-us…
