Just now ,Greg Maxey ([email protected]) answered my
question about "how to change line at specific place?"
But unfortunately, I could not understand his answer. What
is the meaning of sentences : Type ([0-9]{2})"and a tap of
the spacebar" in the find what field. Type \1^13 in the
replace with field and select replace all.
Firstly , I typed a exact number and a tap of the spacebar
in the find what field and typed \1^13 in the replace
with field . But it failed to accomplish the task.
Secondly, I typed ([0-9]{2}) and a tap of the spacebar in
the find what field and typed \1^13 in the replace with
field . It failed again.
My purpose is to have a paragraph mark at each pair of
number, thus deviding each pair into a new line.
I have tried to send a email to Greg Maxey
([email protected]) and failed .
Would you kindly please to give me further explanation ?
My email address is (e-mail address removed)
Thank you.

The search string I provided you is using Wildcards. You first have to
select Edit>Replace>More>Use Wildcards,

We are looking for a pair of numerals followed by a space. We want to
replace that pair and the space with an identical pair and a paragraph mark.

The find string is looking for a group ( ) of numbers in the range [ ] 0-9
with two numbers that is what the ([0-9]{2}) signifies. After that you have
to type a space.

The replace field is putting back in the group \1 (there is only one group
identified in the find what field) and a paragraph mark.

This will only work if your numbers are in groups of two and each group is
separated by a singe space. If your lines are currently divided with
paragraph marks then first Find ^13 and replace with a space.
