leftover headers / footers with these alternating formats;

nn title
chapter-title nn

where nn is a 2 digit number, which maybe becomes 3 digits later on ?

i.e. original book would have had page number + book title on alternate pages, with chapter title +page number on the other pages.

not practical to do this via./rtf & word because of the ever changing actual page number

can it be done via regex & do I need to go into & back out of some other format en route. if so, what's a suitable syntax please

it seems to be quite a common left-over in books that have been though other conversion before I found them.

just removing title nn would be a start, if the varying chapter names are too difficult to automate.

I want to end up with mobi, I only have epub source. the default structure detection / header removal does not seem to shift this stuff ?

2 samples follow - where Mexico is book title &" the Spaniard" is a chapter title., & 32, 33 are page numbers:

nb these will often appear mid sentence, depending where the original page break occurred.
