RewriteRule ^/?page/?([a-zA-Z0-9,-]+)$ $1.php [L]

is it possible for a text editor to find and replace a string in a manner as how apache’s mod_rewrite does it? i mean for example, in a text-file, i’d like to enclose all email addresses inside double qoutes,

by inputting [a-zA-Z_]@[a-zA-Z-]+\.[a-zA-Z.]+ in the “find what” field
and "$1" in the “replace with” field, i get all email addresses replaced with literally a $1, but i wanted the original value just to be appended and preceeded by double qoutes?

or are there any easier approach over the problem ???

    Different text editors handle the replacement value in different ways. Some use the $1 as you have shown, others use \1. There is also at times special tokens for ‘the entire match.’ TextPad, for example, will use & to indicate the entire matched input. It might be best to consult the regex help supplied (I hope) with your editor.
