All you need to do is add parentheses to specify what you want the replacement
to be. Also, I'm not sure you need the caret ^ unless your pattern will only
appear at the start of a line.
Find: "\(([0-9]{3})\) "
Replace: "\1"
The \1 in the replacement will pull the contents of the first set of
parentheses, just the number.
