When I test many regexes with the regex builder wizard, they work perfectly, but when I execute them, they often aren't functioning. The only way I've been able to get them to work is by breaking the regex up into very small pieces.

Here's how the regex would look ideally

Code:

<i>Book title Here</i>,  Page [\d]+<br>
.1990 PUBLISHING COMPANY, Revised 7/99, www.website.org<br>
<hr/>

It matches correctly for every occurence in the wizard. Each match spans three lines. Input format is pdf, output format mobi.

If I try this regex when converting, I get no matches and the text remains.

Has anyone seen this before?
