This text was written with the help of on Google Translate, so sorry for any errors.
I have one text in which each line whitten the name of the fiction, date, rating, number of comments and the number of favorites. I need to take the word “favs” and numbers (specifically, it has the form (Favs: 2457 or Favs: 547)) and rearrange in the beginning of each line. How to do it? -
Open Search->Replace. Make sure Search Mode is set to “Regular Expression”. Search for
^Favs: (\d+). Replace with$1 Favs:. This will search for the term “Favs: " at the beginning of a line followed by a sequence of digits. The digits part\d+is put in brackets so it will be retained for use in replacement. In the replacement$1is a placeholder for the digits retained in search. The text " Favs:” will be added as well (change to your liking). -
Unfortunately, nothing happened. It shows that 0 occurrense was replaced. Here is an example of the 2 lines of text.

Why didn’t you provide your sample lines of text when you first asked the question?

@Scott-Sumner I’m sorry, I did not think about it. I gave an example of text (2 lines of text).

If you follow basically what gerdb42 said to do, and use the following, it should work:
Find what: ^(.+?)(Favs: \d+ - )(.+)
Replace with: \2\1\3
