How could I replace some | by :?

Question

Hello I have this kind of lines in my text :

Test | (4079|5657|5914)

And I would like by a regex to have this :

Test | (4079:5657:5914)

I tried this

replace this : ([0-9](3)|[0-9](3)|[0-9](3)) by this : ([0-9](3):[0-9](3):[0-9](3))

but it does not work...

Thank you very much !

Note that to match 3 consecutive digits you need to use`[0-9]{3}`. Can there be more numbers inside parentheses? Can there be other numbers? Like `(23|234|42353|43234|3)`? — Wiktor Stribiżew, Jan 11 '19 at 10:11

You may try this find and replace:

Find:    \((\d+)\|(\d+)\|(\d+)\)
Replace: ($1:$2:$3)

This appears to be working in a demo.

You can make use of Find and Replace with regex

Input:

Test | (4079|5657|5914)
Test | (4079|5657|5914|1224344|123)

Output

Test | (4079:5657:5914)
Test | (4079:5657:5914:1224344:123)
