    Hi,

    If someone could help me with this RE, I'd really appreciate it.

    I have a bunch of chemical symbols, e.g. H2O, and I want to subscript their numbers, e.g. H<sub>2</sub>O using search and replace.

    The problem is how to reference the number (in this example, 2) in the replace field. If it were always a 2, that would be easy. But it could be any number.


    Thanks in advance.

      You can use regular expression to do that (check regular expression
      in the replace dialog). This one could be fine (UltraEdit style):

      "^([0-9]+^)"

      replace with:

      "<sub>^1</sub>"

      That it's.

      Regards,
