[thelist] Escaping Parenthesis in RegExp

I can only speak in terms of php/perl regexps... But the syntax there
would be:

Find: "/\((\d{3,})\)/"
Replace: "Number: $1" or "Number: \\1".

This will match three + digits and replace them with the string + the
result... Get rid of the , if you want just three matched.

Hth...
