Let me draw your attention to the Appstore app "Regex Match AutoSuggest Provider", which you can find here.

This is the best solution to solve problems like the one you describe. The advantage is that the replacement will be suggested automatically every time you translate a segment that contains text with such measurements and does not require manual intervention. And you can define several rules and also auto substitutions to be applied.

About your first regex, it's the same with my Studio 2014: Studio matches but can't replace even if the Replace with field is as simple as foo. (BTW: there are extra espaces and \ in your regex).

About your second regex, I'd say it's the expected behaviour, nothing buggy here.

Maybe you can divide the solution in 2 regexes:

(1/2) This regex will match the X'es:

Find what: (\p{Zs}*)(x)(\p{Zs}*)

Replace with: °$2°

where ° is the non-breakable space

(2/2) This regex will match the in's and mm's

Find what: (\d)(\p{Zs}*)([mi])

or

Find what: (\d)(\p{Zs}*)(mm|in)

Replace with: $1°$3

where ° is the non-breakable space

Anyway, I'd recommend you too the Regex Match Solution Provider (find it here: http://appstore.sdl.com/app/regex-match-autosuggest-provider/412/): You would be able to translate on the fly (which is easier and automatic), not replacing after translation.

Hope it helps.
