references and grouped searches in textpad regex

when you group searches in the textpad regex editor you have to escape the grouping brackets with a backslash otherwise it searches them as literal characters

for example:
\([0-9]\) will search for any number 0-9
but if you omit the the escape slash it will look for (1) for example
