hello

you mean expressions like
s/(patterna)(patternb)string(pattern3)/\3\2\1string/g ?

those are supported by acme, all regexp supported by sam should be
supported isn't it?

Acme's Edit command and sam's commands behave almost
identically -- the only difference is that in acme, the k, n, q, and !
commands are not implemented. But those don't have anything
to do with regular expressions.

Edit s/([^ ]+) ([^ ]+)/\2 \1/, if that is the kind of thing you mean,
works just fine in acme.

Hmmm I wonder what I did wrong... I'll try again later :-)
