Thanks all for the advice.
mrmikel you are right. I never trust extensive search and replace even before dipping my toe in regex.
For this reason, I have moved editing my epubs out of Sigil. I export all the files to a mirror directory structure on my system and edit using text editors with better search and replace features than the engine provided in Sigil.

Whatever regex you select try it for perhaps 20 pages, one at a time on find and see if you like where it does its thing. If it works for you, then go for it.
