updateGroupReferences

public static String updateGroupReferences(String regex,

Adjust values in back references to capturing groups (like \1) of a given regex. This method needs to be called when a new group is added to a regex, and the regex contains back references to existing groups. Values in the references having number equal or greater than groupNum, should be increased by 1.

Parameters:

regex - the given regex containing back references to capturing groups.

groupNum - the number of the new group.

Returns:

the given regex with updated references.
