Wildcard search

Hello All

I'm using FrameMaker 11.

I have a document containing a lot of number ranges that use a hyphen 
instead of an en-dash; for example, 1-3. I'd like to replace the hyphen 
while preserving the preceding and following numbers.

In Word I'd use a wildcard search for ([0-9])-([0-9]) and replace with 
\1-\2, where \1 and \2 represent the values in the parentheses (and 
sorry, I can't type an en-dash in this message). When I try this with FM 
it doesn't find anything.

How do you preserve the values in FM?

Thanks.
