Yes.

( Although I wouldn't describe the character you want to find as "following the last brace". The expression is grouped like ths (although you can't put the spaces in):
^ ( .{76} ) -
That is: the beginning of the line; then 76 characters; then the hyphen (or whatever).

It's not the fact that it follows the brace that is significant; the pair of braces with the number inside belong to what precedes them. In another example, there will be no braces to guide you. )


And sorry about the typo in my explanation, now corrected.
