Regex search and replace with groups

Hi there,
 I'd like to remove a slash from a string like this one: 'abc123/456def/ghi'
The resulting string should be 'abc123456def/ghi' that is only slashes surrounded by numbers should be removed.

I tried with regex and group, using something like:

'abc123/456def/ghi'copyWithRegex: '(\d)/(\d)' matchesReplacedWith: '$1$2'

but of course it doesn't work, dollar sign doesn't identify the group, sigh.
Have you any suggestion?

Cheers
 Davide

Any regex guru? :-)

How about:

 'abc123/456def/ghi'copyWithRegex: '(\d)/(\d)' matchesTranslatedUsing:
[ :each | each first asString , each third asString  ].

Not sure if that's the best way, but it seems to work.

Thanks
