I converted a book from PDF to EPUB and using heuristics, the result is great. The only thing is that I have page numbers in middle of text. So I want to remove them all.

In code, all of them look like this:

Code:

<p class="calibre1">25</p>

I wanted to use Find & Replace function to get rid of entire piece of code, but I can't get it to work using wildcards.

I tried

Code:

<p class="calibre1">??</p>

but it doesn't work and Find function doesn't find it.

What should I type in to find every instance of code
<p class="calibre1">..</p>
with any two characters in place of ".."?
