RegEx issue with Round Brackets for Grouping

[Diego Algara]

When I try to use RegEx to replace parts of data, like:

abc_xyz
rts_mno

Using:

Find: _(.*)
Replace: _\1_123

I expect:

abc_xyz_123
rts_mno_123

But instead I get:

abc_xyz_123
rts_xyz_123

Scribes keeps \1 as the first group of the whole file, instead of each the line.

Trying a different Replace rule: _\2_123

I get:

abc_\_123
rts_\_123

This is a very useful tool, please fix it.

About the absolute notation, \g<n> instead of \n, it doesn't work, I get the exact same output.
All lines are replaced with the first line value.

Same problem here with this replacement:

123 abc
456 def

find: ^([0-9]+) (.*)$
replace: [\1, "\2"],

[123, "abc"],
[123, "abc"],

replace: [\g<1>, "\g<2>"], (as recommended in @mystilleef's link)

[123, "abc"],
[123, "abc"],
