I would use:

Code:
([a-z])([;!])
or

Code:
(\w)([;!])
The latter allows mixed case. And I think accented characters.

With the replace being:

Code:
\1 6 0 ;\2
or

Code:
\1& 8 2 3 9 ;\2
With, as @DNSB said, the extra spaces inside the number removed. If I don't put them in, the browser or site interprets the code. Or you could cut-and-paste the space you want to put there.
