Re: [libreoffice-users] Writer- find and replace a number

Didn't specify if number meant just digits, so did test with 
[[:digit:]\|"$"\"."\","]

That replaces digits and "$.,", but would replace them appearing 
elsewhere as well. Might also add "+-" as well.
Also, in my test made font a mono font, since replacing digits with 
spaces would shift alignment.

An example of the data might have been useful to come with a 
more complete answer.
