MobileRead Forums - View Single Post - A couple of questions concerning Search-and-Replace

drepdevel · 07-01-2011, 05:30 PM

First off, let me say that I am not particularly tech savvy, so my description may be terribly lacking in the proper terms. I apologize in advance.

Question 1: Is there any way to add more expression slots in the Search-and-Replace tab? There are only three, and I really need one or two more.

Question 2: Regex Build is not detecting this bit of code when hitting Test:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

I am assuming it's the ? marks that are throwing it off. Is there any way to correct this or make it detectable? It's part of a long block of text that I need to get rid of in order to correct a formatting/margin error, but if it's included when putting said block in to the Regex search bar, then the entire block comes back as having 0 occurrences. In truth, the block comes up 4 times, and all other lines but this one are easily found by Regex.

Thanks for any help!
