The problem is that there's no way to do backreferences that I'm aware of,
so in the example you show above, your *entire* owner notification will be
replaced with `jimuser...', rather than just the one part of the RE that
your selection matched.
You backreference by enclosing the part you want to re-use in escaped
parentheses, and then use an escaped number to match the n'th sub-expression.
:-) Uh, yeah, thanks, but I meant "... there's no way to do backreferences
within nsradmin, that I'm aware of". Of course ed/sed/perl etc. allow for
that, but as far as I can tell nsradmin doesn't. It allows you to use
REs to in a query, but it doesn't appear you can use backreferences in
your nsradmin updates.
