Wonderful!
My thanks go out to all who replied - especially Neil Faiman *(who was
first to reply)* for his detailed and very clear explanation. Just what I
needed.
Grateful thanks, once again.

This is a regular expression pattern that matches any sequence of digits that
is at least 3 digits long and no more than 5 digits long. Here's a breakdown of
what each component of the pattern means:
\d: Matches any digit (0-9).
{3,5}: Quantifier that specifies that the preceding pattern (in

Voila :]

If you only want to apply this to figures of a certain length (i.e. 3 or
more digits) so it would skip things like "3d" or 'B2B" or "23AndMe", you
can use curly brackets to specify a number of occurrences, like:
\d{2,] <--matches 2 or more digits
\d{3,5} <--matches 3 to 5 digits

On Fri,
So you want to find all occurrences of a digit immediately followed by a letter
and insert a space between them?
Get the search dialog. Check the Grep box. Clear the Case sensitive box.
Find: (\d)([a-z])
Replace: \1 \2
Click the Replace All button.
Detailed explanation:
\d matches any digit.
Forgive the level 0 question, but I want to find instances in a simple text
document where various figures have got up against some text, with no space
between them. (For example 123Xyz).
I want to keep the figures the same, and the following text the same, but
put a word space between them.
