I'm converting a book from pdf, so I have a page footer with page count I want to loose.

I came up with:

Code:

<p class="calibre1"> <i class="calibre4">Title of the Book by Author</i> <i class="calibre4">[0-9]*</i></p>

and in my test app RegExRX this take any number in the i tag, like 1, 10, 22, 150, 2354 and so on in my source example text from the book.

It would seem Calibre didn't remove even one of these. Why? Doesn't Calibre support the regex above?
How can I make sure every occurrence throughout the book is removed?
