Rename: when pasting a regex the backslash is stripped

It strikes me that anytime I paste a regex into the rename 'Old name' box, the backslashes are removed.
I can paste the regex in any other program, the backslashes will remain in place

Any suggestions?


Thanks

You are in Find And Replace mode, not Regular Expressions mode. Change that before pasting.
