Do you know if I can do this using openoffice's text editor? I have the "alternative" find-replace app installed. Or should I use calibre? If neither of those, what is the regex editor of choice?

Be awar: There are various dialects of REGEX. The Basic code above usually works in all, but be aware, there can be differences.
The nice thing is OO/Calibre/Sigil has an interactive Editor where you can try-hone your REGEX.
Avoid Replace All.
