Notepad++: Find & replace with regular expressions

Hi there im having in multiple files the text below and i want to change them with Notepad++. I've searched the internet and many "guyides" but no luck yet.

<ingredient id="57" count="10000000"/>

and i want to do it like this

<ingredient id="57" count="10000000" isTaxIngredient="true" />

the count is always integer.

Im searching for this 

<ingredient id="57" count="\d+"/>

and replace all with this

<ingredient id="57" count="\1" isTaxIngredient="true" />

How my expression should be?

You simply forgot the parenthesis around your \d+

<ingredient id="57" count="(\d+)"/>

This tells notepad++ the different group that you want it to match (and retreive using the backreferences)

The only thing missing are parentheses that show which part of the regex match you want to capture in backreference \1:

<ingredient id="57" count="(\d+)"/>

should work.
