Default Complex Find and Replace

Hi,


I regularly have to replace text. Normally, I would use the "Find and Replace" function, but I don't know how (or if it's possible) to use variables, wildcards etc. Here's an example of what I need to do:

Original text:
7. The paragraph according to version 1, wherein the device...

New next:
In a section, the device...

I'm therefore trying to replace
"[number].[tab]The paragraph according to version [number], wherein"
with
"In a section,"

Can anyone help?
Many thanks in advance,
Paul
