How to remove numbers but only if immediately after a non numeric character

[rebweb]

I have a file with an entry for every date of the year. IT contains text and numbers and special characters like quotes, parentheses etc. The problem is that it was taken from a print book with footnotes, so many numbers are embedded in the text right after another character that points to a footnote.

We are not showing footnotes so we need to remove those numbers only. Basically any number immediately preceded by a character should be removed.

I looked all over and did not find a solution. Please help.

That is good to hear. There still might be some problems (e.g. a sign that is not included in the formula to identify a footnote) but hopefully it will save a bit of manual work...
