zimpt · 02-11-2024, 03:37 PM

I want to use search and replace on a bulk of files named "Chapter 1, Chapter 2... Chapter 100" to include leading zeroes so every file is 3 digit long: "Chapter 001, Chapter 002... Chapter100". If I enter "\d+" in the "Search for" field it detects the numbers but I don't know what to put in the "Replace with" field. \\n refers back to the number but how can i modify it conditionally?
