Replacing multiple tags over 2 lines
I have the following source:

Code:
    <p class="calibre10"><span class="calibre12 bold">15</span></p>

    <p class="calibre2"><span class="calibre4 bold">MAVERICKS</span></p>
I would like to replace all that stuff with
Code:
    <h1>15<br />
    MAVERICKS</h1>
The regular expression for the first line appears to be
Code:
(Find)<p class="calibre10"><span class="calibre12 bold">(\d\d)</span></p>
(Replace with)<h1>\1<br />
Would it be possible to do the search and replace for the second line in the same pass?

I think the following might work:

find:
Code:
<p class="calibre10"><span class="calibre12 bold">([0-9]{1,})</span></p>\s<p class="calibre2"><span=class="calibre4 bold">([A-Za-z]{1,})</span></p>
replace by:
Code:
<h1>\1<br />\2</h1>
There are more ways to do this of course.

I only need one.

Unfortunately that doesn't do it. The first part of the expression matches, but adding the second fails.

According to some old docs, Sigil's RegEx engine is very Perl-like. Perl doesn't normally do multi-line matches, but it can be made to do so. I wonder if we must do something special for multi-line matches.

Change Toxaris' find to

Code:
<p class="calibre10"><span class="calibre12 bold">(\d+)</span></p>\s+<p class="calibre2"><span class="calibre4 bold">(.+)</span></p>
The replace will be the same.

The replace will be the same.
In the above example, what would be the difference between (.+) and (.*). The various tutorials I've read talk about "greedy", "non-greedy", "lazy" and "reluctant" but I can't figure out precisely what they mean. What about \s* instead of \s+ - would that work?

Just trying to figure this regex stuff out.

i usually use \s* & it works fine .
I think the relevant definitions are:
\s+ match one or more spaces
\s* match none or more spaces

That works beautifully.

An hour's work in seconds -- regexes rule!
