Kate Regex Search and Replace

If you are using the Kate text editor and you are going to use parenthesis to capture parts of your regex that you want to reuse (a submatch), the character you have to prepend is \, the backslash. But it isn't the dollar sign or any other character on Kate for Kubuntu Linux anyway.
So if you are wanting to switch wordsomething to somethingword in Kate, your regex will look like this (word)(something) and your replacement will look like this \2\1 to end up with somethingword when it is all done

wordsomething find (word)(something)

replace with \2\1 finishes with something word

Best value web hosting

I have become a fan of VPS.net . I have been more than happily running a Debian instance of 2 nodes. I am extremely happy with the breadth of control I have over a portion of a server.

Granted, it is a lot more work than other hosts I have used because it is so much like having a raw machine-- but the response and flexibility of the platform is well worth the ~$20 per node and effort each month.

The successes and happiness with the outcomes of incremental efforts have made it so worth it.

We are using fusemail as our email service provider. They are sufficient at $2 per account each month. I would consider other providers.
