Default Find and replace using wildcard

I have a lot of lines tlike this

xxxxxx(1, sdas...
xxxxxx(2, sdas...
xxxxxx(3, sdas...

The xxxxx can be anything. It always contains a left parenthesis, a number
and a comma, though. I want to replace all numbers with " to make the lines
look like

xxxxxx(", sdas
xxxxxx(", sdas
xxxxxx(", sdas

The numbers can have more than one digit. I have tried a lot of
combinations, but it just tells me, its an invalid search expression for
patterns.
