verse direction change

In Classic Nisus I would like to be able to reverse numbers so that
12:34 will become 34:12;
and 2:9 becomes 9:2
and 6:12 becomes 12:6
and 20:3 becomes 3:20

is there an equation I can use to reverse these? right now
(0-9)1+:(0-9)1+ finds them but what about replace?
thx

Find: ([0-9]+):([0-9]+)
Replace: \2:\1

This should work.

That replace didn't work because it turns each find into \2:\1 instead of to the desired reverse arrangement.
maybe this is on the way to something though

also (0-9)1+: (0-9)1+ is better for isolating the verse couplets.

any more??

Looks like you are using PowerFind.
Try switching to PowerFind Pro, instead, then digit:

Find: \([0-9]+\):\([0-9]+\)
Replace: \2:\1

If this doesn't work, try this Find expression:

\([0-9]+\)\:\([0-9]+\)

I haven't used NWC for quite a long time now, and am not sure whether colon needs be escaped or not.

Cheers, Henry.

There is a complete fast, exact method, save the page as a graphic, mirror the page horrizontal, complete, and then flip the numbers that appear backward, individually the right way around.
