I want to find all occurences of the string "no." + 1-2 integers between 1 and 9. Then to delete the "no." and wrap the integer/s between paranthesis: "(4)" or "(67)". E.g. "no. 34" should become "(34)".
I seem to have multiple issues (Word 2010):
My code does add paranthesis, but at the beginning and end of the active document. How do I make it wrap the numbers instead?
With Selection.Find
.Text = "n[or]. [1-9]"
.Replacement.Text = "XXXXX"
.Forward = True
.Wrap = wdFindContinue
.Format = False
.MatchCase = False
.MatchWholeWord = False
.MatchWildcards = True
.MatchSoundsLike = False
.MatchAllWordForms = False
End With
Selection.InsertBefore ("(")
Selection.InsertAfter (")")
Selection.Find.Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll
Try with following solution:
With Selection.Find
.Text = "(No.)( )([1-9]{1;2})"
.Replacement.Text = "(\3)"
.Forward = True
.Wrap = wdFindContinue
.Format = False
.MatchCase = False
.MatchWholeWord = False
.MatchWildcards = True
.MatchSoundsLike = False
.MatchAllWordForms = False
End With
Selection.Find.Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll
