Find
(.)(.)(.?)(.?)(.?)(.?)(.?)(.?)(.?)(.?)(.?)(.?)(.?)(.?)(.?)(.?)(.?)(.?)(.?)(.?)
Replace
\20\19\18\17\16\15\14\13\12\11\10\9\8\7\6\5\4\3\2\1
But seriously, this isn't really something that grep is suitable for. I
would use a filter. Here's one in Perl that reverses each line in the
selection individually:
#!perl -pl
$_ = reverse $_;
__END__
And this one reverses the whole selection as a single entity:
#!perl -pl
BEGIN { $/ = undef }
$_ = reverse $_;
__END__
