I'll make this quick because I'm at work. I do game translations and A LOT of sentences are like the following: Attack +10 Attack +20 Attack +50 Attack +100
After translating the first one, the pre-translate function or just jumping to the next segment will populate it with the right sentence but not change the numbers, and manually going through 1000's of these to change just a number is..well...insane.

A possible solution for this case

1- Use the view filter to display only the segments that include "Attak +" to have all the relevant segments displayed.
2- Copy source text to target.
3- Use "Find and replace" then Replace All to replace the wird Attak with your translation while keeping the number in each segment.
4- Change the status of the displayed segments to Translated\Condfirmed.
5- Clear\Deactivate the display filter to see the whole text again.
I have tried with the lines you sent and memoQ does replace the numbers automatically with no special setting at all.
This might sound like a stupid question, but just to rule it out: Are you sure you are confirming the segments (Ctrl+Enter) after translating them, so that they are in your memory?
