I need to find words in a string that start with number(i.e digit)

In following string:

1st 2nd 3rd a56b 5th 6th ***7th

The words 1st 2nd 3rd 5th 6th should be returned.

I tried with the regex:

(b[^ a-zA-Z ^ *]+(th|rd|st|nd))+ 

But this regex returns the words not starting with alphabets but can’t handle the cases when word starts with special characters.

For the current string, you may use a pattern like

(?<!S)d+(?:th|rd|st|nd)b

See the regex demo

The pattern matches:

  • (?<!S) — a location at the start of a string or after a whitespace
  • d+ — 1 or more digits
  • (?:th|rd|st|nd) — one of the four alternatives
  • b — a word boundary.

If you plan to match any 0+ non-whitespace chars after a digit that is preceded with a whitespace or is at the start of a string, use

(?<!S)dS*

where S* will match any 0+ non-whitespace chars.

See this regex demo.

NOTE: In case the lookbehind is not supported, replace (?<!S) with (?:^|s) and also wrap the rest of the pattern with a capturing group to access the latter later:

(?:^|s)(dS*)

and the value will be in Group 1.

To get word which is starting with number/digit and ending with th/st/nd/rd you can try this.

((?<!S)(d+)(th|rd|nd|st))

(?<!S) detects the word’s starting position

d+ matches 1 or more digits

th|rd|st|nd matches one among those 4.

You can tell Word to start from any number you prefer, restart numbering from 1, or continue numbering.

On the Home tab, in the Paragraph group, click Numbering or from the popup menu
(for more details see Creating numbered
lists) and then choose Set Numbering Value…:

Paragraph in Word 2016

When you open the box while the list is selected, these option buttons are enabled and one is selected:

Set Numbering Value in Word 2016

  • Start new list: Starts the numbering sequence over from 1. You might use this to place two
    numbered lists one after the other. Word will want to continue the second list with the next number
    in sequence from the previous list; this option tells it not to.
  • Continue from previous list: Tells Word you want to begin your list where the last one left
    off. For instance, you may want to create a very long procedural description, with paragraphs of
    unnumbered text within the list. This allows you to create lots of individual numbered lists, but
    link them all together.
  • Set value to: You can start or continue list this any value that you want.

Another way to use these commands is to right-click on the first entry in the list and select from the
pop-up menu Restart at 1 or Continue Numbering:

Numbering popup Word 2016

Note: More details are available
in the Numbered lists section
in the Work with bulleted, numbered and multi-level lists lesson
of the Create basic documents free course.

You can use Word’s numbering field «restart» feature to accomplish this…

Based on the MS’ KB WD: How to Modify the Start Number for Caption Numbering:

  1. Select the number in the caption you want to start the custom numbering at.
  2. Right-click and choose «Edit Field…«.
  3. Click the Options button.
  4. Choose the Field Specific Switches tab.
  5. Select the r switch, and click Add To Field.
  6. Type the number desired to restart the caption numbering after the r.
  7. Click OK, and then click OK again.

So in the end (depending on you locale and language) the Field Codes box should say SEQ Figure * ARABIC r 102.
