Thank you Kovid. That works well. A lot more elegant than mine for sure.

Maybe I'm dreaming, but I was hoping to find something that would ignore the whole sentences with a (.) or a (") at the closing tag.

That is why I started my searches with (\w</p>). It ignores the sentences with ending punctuation. But it picks up the ending character, which I could do without.

There are 9655 reasons for my grasping at straws. I am at line 1282 by hand, so far. If I didn't like the book so well, I would have bagged it a long time ago.

thanks,
larry
