Numerical string

[Sasa]

Hello,
I was wondering, what is the code for searching only for
numerical string? Is that possible?

For example:
I have sentence like this:

abcdefghijlkfasldjfsjfkjl3sdffasdf.

I want word to find any numerical string my text.
Any clues?

Regards.
Sasa

With Word's Edit>Find utility, use ^# to find any digit. With a wildcard
find, use [0-9]{1,}

Can you reply more details? It doesnt seem to be working.

If I put a "^#" symboly into "Find what" dialog and turn
on wildcards using, it keeps telling me that "^#" symbol
is not valid.

Do not use the ^# with a wildcard search. If you do a wildcard search, use
[0-9]{1,}

In this context, a wildcard search is one where you check the "Use
wildcards" box

See the article “Finding and replacing characters using wildcards” at:
