0-Padded sequence number

A replacement expression with \i01 doesn't yield what I'd hope (01,02...). Anyone know one that does? Thanks.

Turn on block select mode and use Edit | Fill Block...
Select With numbers and Leading zeros.

Thanks, but the replaced strings are not in a block.

use \i and add the few 0s manually.

ben_josephs' solution only helps if the numbers are in consecutive lines and also appear at the same column.

If anyone can answer the question, I'd be grateful. Thanks.

If the numbers aren't in a block then MudGuard's solution is the best you can do with the functionality currently available with TextPad, I'm afraid. Regular expressions can help, but it's a bit tedious.
