Find and Replace

I’m having a letter replacement problem:
find: (n)|(u)|(o)
replace: (?1&)(?2Ã)(?34)

I want the o to be a 4. But maybe this Notepad++ is misreading the order as 34. So is there any way I can turn the o into a 4 without error?

(?{3}4) for the last term

Peter, that substitution expression (which provides the desired functionality) contradicts the spec, which says that without the {}, “a single decimal digit (0-9)” will be used to identify the match group to test. Perhaps the spec should indicate that in the basic case of ?ℕYesPattern:NoPattern, YesPattern must not start with a digit.

@neil-schipper ,

That’s probably a good clarification
