p.s. I've just seen Eyal Rozenberg's answer which is quite similar. Aside from [0-9]+ vs [:digit:] there is one significant difference, the "+" at the end.
Using Eyal's method any consecutive string of digits is replaced with whatever is in "Replace:". Using the method I offered each individual digit is replaced by what is in the "Replace:" field. That is not because of [0-9] vs [:digit:] but because of the "+". Pick whichever meets your needs best.
