I want to find all cases of: digit</p> and change them to: digit</h2> where digit can be any single numeric. The problem I have is that digit must be part of the find, but I can't get the replace to leave it there for me? TIA and I'm sorry if this is repetitive.

In "Find": ([\d]</)p(>) The parenthesis tell it to put the contents in a placeholder or variable. In "Replace With": \1h2\2 and check "Use placeholders". The \1 will insert the contents of the first pair of parenthesis and the \2 the second and so on.
