The following bug has been logged online: Bug reference: 6057 Logged by: Marc Mamin Email address: m...@intershop.de PostgreSQL version: 9.0.4 Operating system: Windows Description: regexp_replace & back references Details:
select regexp_replace ('a','(a)','\\1'||substring('\\1',1,1)||'\\1','g') = a\1 I'd expect a\1a as result. More generally, I miss the avaibility to use back references as function parameters. It is only possible with some operators (e.g. '\\1'||'\\1'), probably depending on their lexical precedence. Any way to workaround this limitation would be very helpful.
