replace all has to be triggered twice
i am seeing some unexplained behaviour with replaceall regex in that it sometimes has to be run twice to truly replace all.
I isolate a phrase & set up the find regex with a blank replace.
then I click replace all & it does one or two replacements, but when I click it again, it does a whole lot more.
I can't puzzle out why it needs to run twice.
e.g. most my recent example - removing unwanted anchors from chapter starts..
I use find
<a class="calibre7" id="filepos\d+"></a>
+ replace all
(with nothing)
. expecting 29 hits , 1 per chapter, instead I got only 2 hits, followed by 27 hits at next attempt.
the open xhtml was 1st chapter.
mode regex, all hteml files - down + replace all. nothing else ticked.
any explanation as to why it needed to be run twice?
