Dear Comunity,  
I made some find/replace-Action in the field "comment", using "Actions". Worked almost.  
Now I have in my field comments e.g. "`2\\SwingJi`" - ok so far.  
"SwingJi" is what I wanted, dont know, why "`2\\`" is added.  
Now, I would like to delete / finde/replace this "`2\\`" but I dont get it by an Action.  
Interesting: I can delete it by hand - every single one 🙈  
What shoul I do?  
Thank you 🙏

> Hello Everyone, I "literally" discovered the hard way that to apply the Action \> Replace does not in fact replace the double-backslash present in a — with whatever I intend to. In this case, I wish to replace the double-backslash (\) (or, similarly, the single backslash, the double-slash, the single slash) with a space-dot-space, which, in itself, appears to pose a problem. However, I am sticking to it. The little I understand of it, I have to use the Action \> "Replace with regular expression…
