Regex replace: Replace only (first) group of a match
Given this (TeX) string (with a newline at the end):
\fill[cardbackground, rounded corners=2pt] (0,0) rectangle (\cardwidth,\cardheight);
I am able to match with this regex:
~r/.*(cardbackground).*;\n/
How do I replace only the first group match (which is cardbackground in this case) using something like:
Regex.replace(~r/.*(cardbackground).*;\n/, source, "{RGB}{245,245,245}")
Looking at Regex — Elixir v1.20.2 is of not much help (to me).
What do I miss?

If you only want to replace
cardbackground, only match that:If you want to look for a pattern but not include it in the match, you can use a positive lookahead assertion:
This still only matches
cardbackgroundalone, so that’s the only part that gets replaced. The assertion looks for;\nat the end of the line.Last Post!
