If I had thought about regexen _before_ I did *any* insertions of a space

between the numeric and the alpha, then I wouldn't even have needed to qualify the alpha,


Except - you would have ended up with:

  ^9 And ...
  ^10  For ...

Note the double space before the For. You were very correct in
specifying that the alpha had to be right next to the numeric.

Except that "_before_ I did *any* insertions of a space", there were zero instances of numerics followed by a space. (Emphasis *added*.)

However, I can see how what I wrote could have been a bit misleading.


Also, \d and \w are Perl Compatilble Regular Expression (PCRE) syntaxes.
My testing shows they don't work in vi(m).
