psxls gave a great answer but I think my Notepad++ version is slightly different so the $ (dollar sign) capturing did not work.

I have Notepad++ v.5.9.3 and here's how you can accomplish your task:

Search for the pattern: value=\"([0-9]*)\" And replace with: \1 (whatever you want to do around that capturing group)

Ex. Surround with square brackets

[\1] --> will produce value="[4]"

In Notepad   to replace  hit Ctrl H to open the Replace menu   Then if you check the  Regular expression  button and you want in your replacement to use a part of your matching pattern  you must use  capture groups   read more on google   For example  let s say that you want to match each of the following lines  value  4  value  403  value  200  value  201  value  116  value  15    using the     d   pattern and want to keep only the number  You can then use a capture group in your matching pattern  using parentheses   and    like that       d     So now in your replacement you can simply write  1  where  1 references to the value of the 1st capturing group and will return the number for each successful match  If you had two capture groups  for example         d      1 will return the string value and  2 will return the number   So by using   Find       d     Replace   1  It will return you  4 403 200 201 116 15   Please note that there many alternate and better ways of matching the aforementioned pattern  For example the pattern value    0-9     would be better  since it is more specific and you will be sure that it will match only these lines  It s even possible of making the replacement without the use of capture groups  but this is a slightly more advanced topic  so I ll leave it for now
