Well, that is what I’ve been doing more or less. Most of the formatting in this book is utterly useless anyway.

I don’t actually have any trouble at all identifying the required sequences of characters; it’s just the suggested regex doesn’t seem to work consistently. The exact sequences of chars copied from the document are not found with regex though they are with a normal search. This leads me to wonder if there is something in the syntax that’s preventing it from working, but since it’s a bit of a black art to me and I don’t even know what the flavour of regex in Calibre is called, I don’t really know what to look for.

It doesn’t seem too unreasonable to want to search for [exact sequence A]SOME TEXT[first occurrence of exact sequence B].
