Do backreferences work when using Perl regexes?
In an HTML file, when trying to find matching tags and everything in between, the following regular expression
<(\w+)>.*?</\1>
gives an "invalid regular expression" error.

Only with the latest versions of UEStudio (v5.50) and UltraEdit (v12.10) released yesterday where exactly this issue was fixed according to the history in readme.txt. I have not tested, if it really works now with the latest versions.
