convert [*] to the n with tab

[Eric Chatonet]

Hi Bob,

Thanks.
But I'm not a regex specialist: did you see Marielle's answer who is  
far better than mine?

> put "[0][0][9]item1[0][0][0][6]item2[0]item3" into tstr
> put replacetext(tstr, "(\[[0-9]\])+", tab)
> get you:     item1    item2    item3
>
> [0-9]         Means any number between 0-9
> \[ and \[     Because [ and ] are characters used to define options  
> (as the above shows), you need to escape it
> (something)+  One or more of the same thing.
>
> If you can have any number of digits in between square brackets,  
> then use
> [0-9]+
