I have a few documents in MS Word that I'm going to convert to ebooks. The documents have a lot of endnotes, and as usual, Word puts out a lot of junk when saved a html. I am very new to regex, and was wondering if I could get help. I want to search on:

Code:

<a href="#_edn1" name="_ednref1" title=""><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><b><span style="font-size:8.0pt;font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;;color:black">[1]</span></b></span></span></a>

and replace it with:

Code:

<a href="#_edn1" name="_ednref1" title=""><sup>[1]</sup></a>

The endnote numbers are from 1 to 125. Is there a single regex that can do this in Sigil?
Thanks in advance.
