Question

I would like to know if there is a way to perform replacement with regular expressions in JS using tagged expressions, like scintilla engine does (used in Notepad++, for example).
For instance, to replace numbers with a colon as decimal separator by a dot, you may use the following expressions in Notepad++:

regexp: /([0-9]+),([0-9]{2})/
replace: \1.\2

Could I do something like this in JS?

Answer 1

Yes.

str = str.replace(/([0-9]+),([0-9]{2})/, '$1.$2');
