Hi,

I'd like to search for a numbers in a single line only e.g.  
"some text, some more text  
123  
some text, some more text  
some text, some more text  
124"

etc.  
For now I came up with this **([^\d]|^)\d{3}([^\d]|$)** but it searches all the 3 digit numbers e.g.  
if the text contains "123 items were purchased" it removes the 123 within the text, which I don't want. I only want to be able to find/remove the 3 digits in single lines, not surrounded by any other text.

Can anyone help me?
