Regex in Atom.io search field

Question

So, for example, I have this list:

10text
11text
12text
13text
14text
15text
16text
17text
18text
19text

Now I need to copy this and make it all into the 20-29 and 30-39 range with a Regex.

So only the very first 1 needs to be changed into a 2 and a 3 etc.

I can't seem to figure out what the regex is.

I tried: 1.text 1*text

Now I have been doing some reading and probably because it ain't in my native language it is still magic to me.

Reference - What does this regex mean?

What was I hoping for

When I fill in this in the search field:

1*text

and this in the replace field:

2*text

then on pressing change all the list becomes

20text
21text
22text
23text
24text
25text
26text
27text
28text
29text

Please include your expected output, but in any case it seems that a pure regex solution won't give you what you want anyway. — Tim Biegeleisen, Apr 25 '19 at 15:09

I don't know exactly what you are trying to do here, but if you want to convert 1xtext to 2xtext, then try searching for this pattern:

^1

and then replace with just 2. Or, more generally, to match something like (1xtext) you could try using the pattern \b1, and again replace with 2.

Does this mean that there can't be any content in front of the `1xtext` so lets say when it is encapsulated with `(1xtext)`? Atom.io is not responding to the regex. – purple11111 Apr 25 '19 at 15:21
