4254645\\n
w4546746\\n

Not a solution, but a workaround:

Instead of using Regex's you can use the notepad++ macro feature to record keystrokes and then replay until the end of the file...

1. Put cursor in front of first line
2. Start recording
3. Type a (
4. Press down and left on your keyboard
5. End recording

Replay to end of file

Easier if you don't know Regex's.
