Now I can go on and get them finished -- I've got 23 books to recreate in Sigil and this was just stopping me in my tracks.
Again, thanks so much to all of you -- I'm an incredibly happy woman right now!  |

You are most welcome. MR is always happy to help those who are genuinely trying. Just remember: until you are more experienced,
* =
bad.
Specificity=
good.
And I'm not mean. You have NO IDEA of the wreckage I've surveyed, after my dalliances with a wildcard in Regex. The only thing that kept me from throat-slitting was that at LEAST, I'd had the sense to always, always, keep a back-up of any file with which I mess. But had I not? Zoiks and oish.
There will come the time when you can deploy those with ease..but probably, not yet.
(I am refraining from telling the horror story about the time I helpfully regexed a client's file [no...no backup. Last time THAT ever happened--read on for the "why"] in, I think, 2009, and wiped out ALL of her italics.
Every last bit. On a book that was rolling in them, as she used italics for all inner thought. I'd
completedthe book, mind you--this was
the very. last. thing.
THAT was my lesson. Don't even breathe without backups now.)
