How can I find a specific character + a number in Notepad++

Question

I need to replace all pip that are followed by a number. Example: |2019 (2019 is an example, it is not standard). I have others pip like |note that I do not want them too be replaced.

To find numbers I know that I should use in Regex [0-9] but I can´t combine it with a pip.

Thank you!

Do you want to replace `|10abc`, too? Or should only *years* be taken into account? — Wiktor Stribiżew, Jul 01 '19 at 08:42

Since | is an operator for regular expressions, you have to escape it.

Use this:

\|[0-9]+
