I think you read my question incorrectly. Specifically, I am able to use regular expressions to search for a one to many-digit number: \d* But I want to leave the number (whatever it may be) in place and insert a tab immediately after it. I expected I should be able to use: \1\t but LO is interpreting the \1 *literally* instead of as a backreference. :-( -- T. R.
