Reg-exp

[J. Thomas]

I'm interested in doing a query search and replace for a regular
expression that goes something like this:

1. find a particular string (e.g. "test") followed by any 3 random

   characters or numbers (e.g. "test100", "test234", "test_al")

2. replace an occurence with the random 3 characters/numbers followed by

   "test" (e.g. "100test", "234test", "_altest).


How would I go about doing this?

Thanks,
jt
