Replacing the first occurrence in a text

[Dm114]

Unfortunately it won't work as it replaced the entire word abc|100°F instead of just 100°F. The regex matches everything before and including the first ddd°F instead of just the first ddd°F.

Eg if the string is:

abc def ghi 100°F 200°F 100°F
It would become:
xxx 200°F 100°F

Edit:
It's still doable without shell or JavaScript and I'm sure you can achieve it but it might take a longer macro. Would have been easier if Macrodroid had a replace first option too instead of replace all only.

You're right again! I was a bit in a hurry yesterday...

This time I'll be necessary to add 2 other Text Manipulations like in my original (wrong) suggestion.

Maybe Dm114 forgot to add $1 to "New text" field? As it works perfectly with this!

$1xxx

Although don't ask me to explain how it works, esp the "(*.?)" part, as I'm not sure i know!

You are absolutely right.

This is the strength of our MD community!

Very close! The °F isn't included with $1xxx so it would need to be added ($1°Fxxx).

Using $1{lv=intTemperature}°F for the new text where intTemperature= 83

Before:
The current weather is sunny and clear with a temperature of 90°F. It feels slightly cooler at 86°F due to a light wind speed of 2 meters per hour. The air pressure is at 1015 hPa, with a relatively low humidity of 36%. The dew point is 57°F, and the...

Both 86°F and 57°F remain intact even though Replace All is being used! Genius!

Would you mind posting the complete solution here so anyone else can find the solution in a single post (I'd post it but don't want to be credited for the solution)?

Thank you to everyone for looking into this.

Thanks to @md_sgf who corrected some of my omissions and mistakes...

Unless the text always looks like the original one, "⁰F" in the Regex makes it more discriminant and prevents from replacing a single number not in relation with temperature. Otherwise you can remove it from the Regex.
