From the following text, I'd like to find a n th character. For example, the 10th character is "u"`.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Pellentesque ac arcu sit amet lorem mollis dignissim ac ut metus. Aliquam sed nulla ut risus sollicitudin luctus vitae eget quam. Nam velit diam, ullamcorper id tempus ac, iaculis sed arcu.

According to this page, \w{10,} would work but when I type it in the Find what field of the Findwindow, it produces the message, 'Can't find the text: "\w{10,}"'

enter image description here

Thanks in advance.
