Thanks all of you,
the answer that worked for me was:
([0-9])\1*
Thanks, again :D

You can use a capture group for a single digit ([1-9]) and optionally repeat a backreference \1* containing the same value as the group.
The optional part * is due to that in your pattern you repeat the number 1 or more times. The 1 time you already have in the capture group.
The pattern:
[1] |[2] |[3] |[4] |[5] |[6] |[7] |[8] |[9]
Can be written as
1 |2 |3 |4 |5 |6 |7 |8 |9
Can be written as
([1-9])\1*
Or if the zero is also allowed, can be written as:
([0-9])\1*
