I am a total newbie with regex, but I would like to create a glossary that lets CTE recognize numbers in parantheses, such as (10), as non-translatables that can be simply inserted with the parantheses.

After reading a little about regex, I created a new glossary, marked the "regular expressions" and "non-translatables" checkboxes, and added a line with

"\([0-9]{1,4}\)".

I would like CTE to recognize the parantheses, any number between 0 and 9, with up to 4 digits.

Unfortunately, no parantheses with numbers are recognized in CTE. I tested this expression with an online regex tester, and it worked. Is there anything wrong with my expression, should I add something? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I don't know why your expression doesn't work.

Here's what I do: I only select the Non-translatables checkbox when creating a new non-translatables glossary and I enter the expression with the leading vertical bar:

|\([0-9]{1,4}\)

Now it works, thanks!
