Rearrange c++ const and reference specifiers












1















I'm trying to convert



const std::string &s


to



std::string const & s


and can't seem to get it quite right. This is the regex I'm using:



%s/const (.{-}) &/1 const &


and the result I'm getting:



std::string const const std::string &s

          Just escape the & with a backslash.



          %s/const (.{-}) &/1 const &


          The & in the replace part inserts the entire matched pattern.
