I have a long document containing hundreds of numbers in square brackets that looks like this.

[399]

Some of them have two numbers separated by a comma which looks like this.

[123, 456] [234 - 678]

I would like to be able to find and change the colour of only the numbers within these square brackets only. So they will look like this.

[399] [123, 456] [234 - 678]



I found this online https://cybertext.wordpress.com/2011...ing-wildcards/


However it changes everything including the square brackets and commas. Resulting in this.

[399] [123, 456] [234 - 678]


Please help!

You can do this with a wildcard Find/Replace, where:
Find = \[[0-9,\- –]{1,}\]
Replace = ^&
and the replacement parameters include the blue formatting.

Note that this will colour the brackets as well.
