Is it possible to modify an expression with quantifiers in this way:

ABCD to A!B!C!D!

the pattern of the first expression would be something like:
[A-Z]*

but if I use this:

But I don't know how make the replace string (and I'm not even sure it's
possible to do it only with regex)

Click to expand...

If you just want a ! after every [A-Z] then it's quite easy:

Input pattern: [A-Z]
Replace pattern: $0!

Hi MaxMax,

What Jesse suggested is using the substitution notation to replace the
matched string using $0. You can also use $1, $2, ... etc to replace a
group if you're capturing the part of the match in a group.

Hope this helps.
