Set your regex to look in the current file and hit 'Find Next'. Check that it's found only the passage you want to change and hit 'Replace'. You
can undo this if there was a problem with your regex.
The lack of undo only applies to 'Replace All', but Sigil does provide a way to test and debug your regex before using that.
But for simple passages such as the one you describe, it's easiest just to copy and paste the code into the Find box. Sometimes you need to do that twice because Sigil will refactor any nonstandard newlines.
