Hello!

I'm processing a book where I need to have more than 9 back references. Starting with \10 Sigil just treats that as the text to replace with instead of part of the 10th part of the search expression (please forgive me if I'm not using the proper terms.

I found on line that some regex systems can use $10, $11, etc, but that doesn't seem to work either.

At this point my only option seems to be to combine the book into a single text file and work with it in Notepad++. Not the worst option in the world, but I thought I would ask here first.

Thanks!!
