That solution is overly complicated, try this:

find:
^([0-9]+\.?)
replace:
\1

... where the replace has literal spaces after.

Would that do what you want?  I'm not sure whether the «\s» in the replace string gets converted to a space character though, or if you actually just need to type spaces there.  \1 is a leading number and optional period, and \2 is the rest of the line.

    Howdy,
      I would like to add spaces after line numbers. Is it possible?
