Sorry, should have made it clearer.
The lines that I do want changed has the exact structure of

"This [] points to []"

with exactly 10 digits inside the brackets.
There are no other lines with that structure.
There are however, other lines that have numbers enclosed by the square
brackets and they are to remain untouched.

Not at home right now so will have to wait till then to work on it.

Thanks
