Thank you for replying,
I'm just doing a normal search not using expressions - I dont know how to use those..
Im selecting Author in the drop down box..
Im assuming obviously incorrectly that the search and replace is similar or the same as in ms word or excel but seems not to be.
Ive discovered that if there are two authors credited with a book and have a separator I cant just blanket change or delete those either ..
eg
author = john smith & will smith..
is it possible to do a search author *.* so whatever is in author is deleted and replaced by the text that I want to replace it with ?
Again thank you for the courtesy of a reply.
Cheers
