RegExpr: Replace ' 123' with '#123'

iycgtptyarvg · 2009-07-30 12:26

I have tried using regular expressions, but unfortunately I'm very new with it.

I would like to do the following:

Input:
'My nice number 123.txt'
'Number 123 is nice.txt'

Output:
'My nice number #123.txt'
'Number #123 is nice.txt'

I tried the following, but it doesn't work:
Find : ' [0-9]'
Replace : ' #$0'

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Expression: (\d+)
Replace: #$1

Ok, it doesn't work when using the 'Replace' rule, but it does work when using 'RegExp' rule.

Thanks a lot!

Yes, that would only work in RegEx rule! Replace rule would need a different syntax.
