Wildcard find/replace wildcard question

hephalumph · #1 03-11-2022, 10:00 PM

I am trying to do a find/replace of every section heading that has improper formatting in a document. Most sections are;

Code:

Section 123: (section name)

But there are a LOT that leave out the colon and are instead;

Code:

Section 125 (section name)

My issue is in doing a wildcard find/replace, I tried;

Code:

Section [0-9][!:]

But in the above, it would detect 'Section 1' from the 'Section 123:'.

I then tried to modify it to;

Code:

Section [100-999][!:]

But I got the exact same results. How can I have it only look at 3 digit (or 2-digit, or 4-digit, or etc) numbers in a search?
