I have following text in a file
23456789 When I tried to replace the above text using command
1,$s/\(\d\)\(\d\d\d\)\(\d\d\)*\>/\3\g I am getting 89. Shouldn’t it be 6789? Can anyone tell me why it is 89.
Group 3 is defined as being 2 digits long. If you want to match the last 4 digits you want
\(\d\d\d\d\)with no*at the end. If you just want to match all digits but the first 4, put your*inside the group match rather than outside.
