Regular expression for chapter combining

bremler · 12-23-2010, 08:41 AM

Hello there,

I was wondering if this was possible:

<p>Chapter 1</p>

<p>SUSIE HOMEMAKER</p>

to become

<h1>Chapter 1: SUSIE HOMEMAKER</h1>

I'm stumped as to the find/replace regular expression involved, maybe it's a two-step process. Much karma for any help :-)

Sure is possible: do this...

Find: <p>(Chapter \d+)</p>\s+<p>(.*)</p>
Replace: <h1>\1: \2</h1>
Tick the Minimal Matching checkbox
