It may just be that in the source, the word "chapter" occurs four times at the beginning of each chapter.
...definite not - used sigil FIND option to confirm that the word is only at start of chapter. e.g.
Code:
</head>
<body class="calibre" style="">
<div class="Section">
<p class="MsoPlainText"></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span>CHAPTER 1</span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span>"I say we should stake him to an anthill and throw little pickles at him."</span></p>
Also, I believe the chapter detection is done by XPath instead of regexes, so if you do use regexes, results may vary.
...correct. i used the xpath wizards - i tred both using the look & feel screen option and the structure detection screen options, one at a time..
Edit: Oh, and I assume you do know that only works for single-digit chapter headings? Use if you have more than 9 chapters. |
...i figured that [chapter n] was a subset of [chapter nn] so would be detected ....
.. and .it seemed to work - the exact wizard generated expression is
Code:
//*[re:test(., "CHAPTER \d", "i")]
and that is finding all 18 chapters but four times each!
could it be there's an additional epub file that is being searched ? the rpub ( in calibre viewer) has nothing except START in its TOC.
