eg
if I test for the following regex calibre finds 223 instances:
([a-z0-9-,])(</p>)(\s)(<p class="whitespace"> \s?</p>
<p class="calibre3">)
I want to replace it with
\1\3
But the conversion never works. Nothing happens. After conversion calibre still finds 223 instances and the book looks the same.
Can any expert out there tell me what I'm missing here?
sorry if this question has been asked and answered before, but I couldn't find anything in the search.
thanks so much in advance for any help!! |
I added a more flexible space detection in red.
Personally, I use Sigil s I can see exactly what a Search finds (and the results of my replace
)
