Oh yes. I also just wanted to start a "thank you" post, but you beat me to it.

Now we can finally edit the whole ebook at once instead of editing each split html after the other.

You're welcome Thanks are due to user_none for this plugin

Agreed. I use to work epub files in Dreamweaver for both HTML and CSS, sometimes ending up with 20, 30 files open. Having only one file speed up the process and is a great improvement !

Thanks guys.

I envy y'all that like to get things just right. Using the simple find/replace function on the entire ePub at once via Sigil was always enough for my minor tweaks.

Kudos and karma to user_none for meeting a need of the Calibre community.

I use Notepad++ which uses tabs for each file and you can search/replace among all the open tabs if you want.

I don't know if this has changed recently - but the frustrating limitation with Notepad++ (which I otherwise love and use all the time) was that it had no support for multiline regex expressions. Which for me is a complete non-starter for book editing. Has that changed?

Unfortunately not.

I use UltraEdit. It supports multiline regex .

I just looked, because I was curious. UltraEdit costs $60, while Notepad++ is free. UE supports multiline regex - but what else, what N++ can't? Is it really worth the money?

How does Ultra-edit spell check work compared to NP++?
Every time I exit to fix something I saw, it(NP++) starts over at the top, not at the insert point

Yeah, that is true. The only way to avoid that (somehow) is to mark just a part of the code, you want to check. But even then, spell checking in N++ can become tedious.

Have you tried EditPad Pro, can do all of that, is commercial, but low priced.

I'm not sure of the workflow you have in mind here. Also, I'm not familiar with NP++ (although, I've recommended it based on comments from others). (The office bought UE for me.)

UE has a spell checker and regex searching. In the spell checker, you'd normally fix or ignore each problem until the file is done, so I wouldn't normally exit the spell checker until the end. If I did exit, the spell check would start fresh, but I would have previously fixed the problems, or marked them as "ignore" or "add to custom dictionary," so they won't be found again.

The regex search will let you move to each match (F3) individually, or it will give you a popup window of the location and text of all matches found, and you'd click on a match in the popup to directly jump there (or switch to S&R and fix it that way).

My work flow is spotty at best

I am doing a S&R and I spot something else in view that needs touch-up. I want to fix it while I see it and then Resume the S&R.

Open Office allows this, but it is not as friendly to raw HTML coding.
