How can I put one number 100 times in a document?

[Wim Verschaeve]

I have a whole document with a lot of phone numbers (xx.xx.xx). But I want
to put before every phone number a zone number(056). So the result has to be
this: (056)xx.xx.xx. Can anyone help me with this?

From the Edit menu, select Replace and then click on the More button and
check the "Use wildcards" box. Then in the "Find what:" control, enter:

([0-9]{2}.[0-90]{2}.[0-9]{2})

and in the "Replace with:" control, enter:

(056)\1

Then click on Replace All.

For an explanation, See the article "Finding and replacing characters using
wildcards" at:

There's a typo in there Doug It should have read:
([0-9]{2}.[0-9]{2}.[0-9]{2})

Which must not matter because the string that I posted was copied from the
Edit Replace dialog after using it to successfully add the required area
code.
