Code replacements suddenly not working..

[KenGMac]

I am running Photo Mechanic version 6.0, build 7285 (fb3e520) on MacBook Pro 2021 OS Tahoe 26.3.
Code replacements worked perfectly as normal five days ago for me.
Now when I tried a test run for a soccer game tomorrow, I type the code replacement and nothing happens at all.
I have attached a jpeg showing my code replacement caption plus my code replacement folder..

We tried your code replacement file and it worked for us. Perhaps you are using the incorrect delimiter character or inadvertently changed it?

Well thanks for trying.

I shut everything down and restarted my MacBook, re-launched Photo Mechanic, and tried again.

Same as before - absolutely nothing. Every time I re-write `r9` - nothing but that appears.

I even tried changing the de-limiter to = but no luck again. (=r9= still gives me nothing)

Looks like I'm going to have a long day tomorrow just copying and pasting player names...

Really weird and as far as I know, nothing whatever has changed, although I have had a OS Tahoe upgrade from Tahoe 26.2 to Tahoe 26.3 this week...

If you can think of anything please let me know. I'm beginning to think I'll never find out what's happened!
