Nisus Writer Express uses the Captured found text to define the numbered Captured
groupings; that is, the first set of Captured text surrounds what will be produced in
“Captured1”. The “Capture” stores the found expression so that it can be recalled when using
the numbered Captured characters in the Match column. In this example, the first Capture
defines the two numbers, found in the text, not the symbols AnyDigitAnyDigit, to be recalled
when Captured1 is used.
So, in the example, Captured2 represents the day (now at the beginning) and Captured1
represents the month (now appearing in second place).
