I have been trying to make Open Office 1.1.4 and now beta 2 of OO 2
find numerals in plain text. A block of text in paragraph format
will contain single or double digit numbers i.e.
1then text, 2more text...14additional text etc.
I need to remove the numbers without changing the text. I have tried
various combinations of [1-0], [:0-1:] without success. Any clues
will be most welcome.
Thanks Ron Miller in Baltimore
You can search for numbers with the string [0-9]{1,2}. The first
term represents a range. The second allows one to two instances
of the first term - in this case, that is one or two digits.
The Replacement string should be left blank.
p.
I may be more obtuse than others, but I can't get this to work. Pasting
a copy of your exact string in the Find box consistently produces a
"Search Key not found." error message. The same result is received
whether I'm finding, finding all, replacing, or replacing all.
Did you remember to enable Regular Expressions in the Find & Replace
box? It's the only mistake that makes sense for the symptoms you describe.
