Hello. I'm new to this so I might be making some mistakes here but I'm trying to delete the headers of a PDF while converting it to MOBI.
In Search & Replace I'm searching for the following expression with no quote marks:
"<a id="p[0-9]+"></a>[0-9]+<br>Introduction<br>"

Calibre shows me there are 3 instances of this.

For replacement text I use blank or "", I have tried both.
I then Add it to the list.

When I convert the book the header is there in the middle of the text together with the page number.

Am I missing a step here? What should I use as replacement text to erase it?

Thanks.

EDIT: Just realized there is a conversion subforum a bit down, sorry about posting in the wrong section.
