I'm doing a find/change on all numbers formatted ^9.^9(ie. 1.0) and want to insert a tab before and after. I place ^t^9.^9^t in the change field, but ID will literally place the '^9' instead of the pre-existing number.

How do I keep the numbers here. Apparently you can't place wildcards in the change field.
 
Hey, you're right. It might be a bug. It seems to only understand wild cards in the find field, but not the change field. Jeez, and I was always so impressed with their find/change features compared to Quark's.
