Default Search with wildcards

Hello,



i can't get it working to search for these numbers in Word search field:

1
1.
2.1
3.1.1
3.10.10

in Perl i would use [0-9](\.[0-9]+)?(\.[0-9]+)? but there is no "optional" ? wildcard in word. How can i get it working in WORD?

thx Marco

In Word you could use a wildcard Find, where
Find = <[0-9.]{1,}>
