Tex2002ans,

Sigil uses the PCRE library, whereas calibre uses Matthew Barnett's enhanced python regex module.

The difference is that PCRE supports a couple extensions the python module doesn't... but for the most part they provide the same features.

(You cannot capitalize captured text in calibre regex, but you can use a function replace instead. There's always multiple ways to fix the same problem.

)
