Using wild cards

[MartinHd28]

I want to find digits like 0:56 or 6:56 in Libre Writer. I assume I need to use wild cards in Find and Replace. I have searched the web to no avail, can anyone help
Thanks

@MartinHd28

assume I need to use wild cards

Look for regular expressions instead:

A sequence of digits [:digit:]+
and for : I think you have to mask it:
[:digit:]+\:[:digit:]+

\d+:\d+

would also do. You don’t have to mask colon outside of square brackets (and eventhere, not always).
