Ok I can’t find it…

 

Where you’re doing a search & replace, how do you keep from replacing the characters you’re searching for:

 

I want this:

 

:1,$s/[0-9]/^M/  --- but this replaces whatever matches in 0-9 with a carriage return – I actually want it to not replace but insert a carriage return after finding the number string and keep the number.
