Hi,

at first I would like to thank Kovid Goyal for that great kind of Software!!!

But one issue I've encountered while I tried to remove page numbers from an epub.

The page numbers in the text look like: |10|

My regex for removal is: |[0-9]*|

When I press "Test" in the Wizard it takes a very long time an then the preview dialog shows about 1000000 occurrences. Also no highlights are mark the occurrences.

I've used the regex successfully with notepad++ to remove the page numbers.

Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug?

Best Marco
