How do I replace all numbers [0-9] with something else? I was trying [0-9].

Did you select Regular expression?

The regular expression [0-9] matches any single digit.
The regular expression [0-9]+ matches any non-empty sequence of digits.

Thanks Ben, You are the Text Pad Master!

Hi Ben, I want to replace [0-9] with [0-9], (ie: 1 with 1,)
this does not work

reg. ex. on
find
[0-9]
replace with
[0-9],

This gives [0-9], rather than the #,.

Can you help?

A replacement expression is not a regular expression.

Use

Find what: ([0-9])
Replace with: \1,

or

Find what: [0-9]
Replace with: \0,

The first of these assumes you are using "Posix" regular expression syntax:

Configure | Preferences | Editor

[X] Use POSIX regular expression syntax
