Can anyone help me with the regex to convert:

36,49%

to

36.49%

(we really need a subforum for regex stuff!)

Glad you like it all. Yes, these replacement variables are very powerful. Lots and lots of extra applications will be possible, e.g. replacing the period in the German date format by a dash. I'll make sure to add some more examples to the wiki article.

Please don't. They don't work.

Then please don't use that particular one. Based on the other one (with $1 etc.) you can create the correct one for your specific number format.

Hans,

I did a rough test.

It works flawlessly in my case.

(I did transfer all source segment to target segment).

I can. But you can't. It requires a mathematical mind, something most translators don't have.

I mentioned the replacement character $ months ago, and I was talking nonsense, according to you. And I was, it didn't (and doesn't?) work in tab dels.

Perhaps we should give you a dedicated forum here?

Well, whatever Mr woorden (Hans van den Broek) thinks about these in general, the one Hans gave me, which I tried, worked perfectly, and saved me a lot of time in my current job. I have therefore saved it in my little regex templates file.

Of course, they don't all work, or always work perfectly, but then what does?
