I want to do a simple thing: capture text before and after the word "and" and output them in reverse order. The pictured macro would be a start, but the interface doesn't offer me a place to capture the two strings, as in the very few, very thin examples I've managed to find. (Monstrously large examples are easy to find; simple ones are not.)
I expected to be able to enter "All", "One", and "Two" in the macro, but all I can get is "All" (or another name for the entire string). What am I missing?
I've always been mightily annoyed that I have to copy the second thing, paste it before the first, and I still have to move and as well. Now I don't have to do that.
I've also chosen to make the regular expression more precise (for better or worse).
Since you'll always know the initial condition of your selected text for this particular macro, there's nothing wrong with your regex – but there can be unintended consequences when using greedy quantifiers like .+.
