You don't say what you are trying to achieve but it looks like you might be attempting to take the 
last digit from a cell and replace it by a value 1/10 of the original. For example, to replace 2 by 
0.2

If that is the case, try :

Find:  ([:digit:]$)

and replace: '=$1/10'       without the quotes

and this works with 'find next' and 'replace'

Otherwise, maybe you could explain your objective.
