 The string replacement (second element of the sub-array) can use the RegExp.$1-$9 properties (see [here](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/RegExp/n) for more info on how these are used). Common separators (`-` and `|`) are cleaned up automatically.
 
 _Example:_ `[["Podcast Name", ""], ["Ep ([0-9]+)", "#$1"]]` will transform `Podcast Episode Title | Podcast Name | Ep 123` into `Podcast Episode Title | #123`.
