visual studio code - VSCode regex find & replace submatch math?

Question

%s@{fileID: (213[0-9]*)@='{fileID: '.(submatch(1)-1900)@

I am using this regex search and replace command in vim to subtract a constant from each matching id.

I can do the regex find in VSCode but how can I reference the submatch for maths & replace? submatch(1) does not work in VSCode?

Thanks.

Answer 1

Given a regular expression of (foobar) you can reference the first group using $1 and so on if you have more groups in the replace input field.
