While replacing using regex, How to keep a part of matched string?

by

Replace

^(\d+)\.(.*mp3)$

with

\1 \2

Also, in recent versions of notepad++, it will also accept the following, which is also accepted by other IDEs/editors (eg. JetBrains products like Intellij IDEA):

$1 $2

This assumes that the notepad++ regex matching engine supports groups. What the regex basically means is: match the digits in front of the first dot as group 1 and everything after it as group 2 (but only if it ends with mp3)
