I think I kinda covered that here: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...8&postcount=33 but, in case Drew didn't see it:

NEVER NEVER NEVER try to learn regex without backing up first. Make a copy. Put that in a dropbox. Back it up again. You can NEVER be too careful with regex, esp. when learning.

Oh, for $40? RegexBuddy is your friend. It's mine. (Friend, I mean, not my program).

There you go, DubShuff. Happy now? :-)
