Atom regex to replace with quantifier

I have a file containing aaa and I want to change it to bbb (for simplicity) using search and replace feature using regex:

Search: a{3}

Replace: b{3}

However it replaces with b{3} instead of bbb.

Is there a way to use a quantifier in the replace section ?

No, braces represent a range, not a multiplier. For example b{3,} would mean 3 or more, which doesn't make any sense as a replacement. So you need to use bbb.
