Wildcards - Sequence of Numbers at the Beginning of Each Paragraph
Greetings,
I am trying to isolate a repetitive sequence of numbers that appears at the beginning of each paragraph in numerous records. Similar sequences appear within the text of each paragraph, but I have no interest in those. This -- [0-9]{1,}-[0-9]{1,}-[0-9]{1,}. -- identifies the sequence at the beginning of each paragraph, but the pattern sometimes appears within the text as well (i.e., the operative sequence, followed by an immediate period). I have tried -- ^13[0-9]{1,}-[0-9]{1,}-[0-9]{1,}. -- but Word does not "like" this pattern. One would think that it should return results, but it does not. What if anything can be used in place of "^13" to limit this wildcard search so it only hits upon the number sequence at the beginning of a text paragraph? Thanks for your kind attention. q. |
