Ok, here's exactly what I need to do. A string that looks like this:

“with 209 words in option trims”

Want to be able to replace so it reads: 209 wds. All the other words go away.

The only thing that varies is the numeral… and I have no trouble finding it with Grep. But when I try to add the explicit words .. and I tried just typing them, I get a nothing found.
