Key Terminology & Definitions
Regex Capture Group Substitution
Referencing captured sub-patterns from a search query using $1, $2 notation in the replacement string to reorder or reformat text.
Whole Word Boundary (\b)
Restricting search matches to standalone words to avoid accidental replacements inside longer words (e.g. replacing "cat" without modifying "category").
