Well, yes, I totally agree with you -- and that's exactly the sort of thing that I've been doing with what little I've learned so far. It was a real struggle for me to try to "figure it out," though, what the correct syntax (or whatever the word is) when trying to come up with my regex string, but that "auto-tokenise" thing totally blew my mind, because you really don't have to think about it at all (much), you just insert "(.+?)" wherever the variables are in your string.

I realize that I'm undoubtedly over-simplifying my explanation here, but surely you know what I mean -- it's that "auto-tokenise" feature in Sigil that just totally makes things SO much easier, virtually a breeze.
