Re: How to replace with variable length characters?

The easiest solution I can think of is this:
Replace
(?<=\do*)o
with
0

This uses the fact that you can ask what's in front of a place without having to match it. Therefore this matches all "o"s that have a digit followed by any amount of "o"s. Due to the fact that this \do+ is not actually ...
