Equivalent to &

[linzerkipferl]

When using the regex-function with Office.org, you can insert the character & in the "Replace"-line, which means that every character found according to the "Search"-order stays the same.

(e.g. if you search for [0-9]+ and replace with (&) then every number in the text will be within brackets)

& does not work with Sigil. Does anybody know if there exists an equivalent order for Sigil?

Thanks in advance!

Sigil (and Calibre) use PCRE REGEX

search (\d+) = capture any quantity of DIGITS
replace \1
