replace \d with { \d}

[RF]

Hi, Trying to LaTeX some bible passages and need to replace [n] with \textsupercript{n} 

Where 'n' = any number.

Eg: Replace [23] with \textsuperscript{23}

I think grep is my friend.

I tried this:

Find: \[\d+\]

Replace: \\textsuperscript{\d+}

the replacement is:

\textsuperscript{d+} which I suppose is fairly predictable. 

Any ideas how I need to amend the replace expression to produce the effect I need please?

Thank you.

To obtain the desired result, you'll need to capture the number
in a _subpattern_ by enclosing that part of your Find pattern in
parentheses (\d+) so:

Find: \[(\d+)\]

and then insert the matched number by referencing the first (and
only :-) subpattern \1 in your Find pattern:

Replace: \\textsuperscript{\1}

and that should do the job.


[PS: For much more info about creating and using grep patterns,
please see Chapter 8 of the included PDF manual, which you can
access at any time via Help -> User Manual.]
