I have a question about removing page numbers in Sigil. I found an epub of "The Sot Weed Factor", which is only available free in an OCRed scanned version. This means that headers have been integrated into the text, so that every page has "The Sot-Weed Factor [xxx]" (where xxx is the page number. It was easy to use "find and replace to get rid of "The Sot-Weed Factor", but the numbers are proving intractable (there are 860 of them).

This is what it looks like:

[ 315 ]

I've tried ever possible version of:

[ \d+ ] or [ (\d+) ]

but nothing works! It seems like the brackets are a problem ( [ ] ). Do you know any solution?
