I have spent the last couple of hours trying to get my head around regex and attempting (mostly in vain!) to use it.

I have been using Book Designer (and also trying in Notepad++)

There are two things I am trying to Find/Replace.

Page numbers in the format (1 of 251)

- I had partial success in this one and was eventually able to do it in 2 steps, first going to () and then replacing that. Would be nice to do it in one step though.

Secondly, time/date eg [4/24/2009 10:29:37 PM]

-The date bit doesn't change, so I can do a standard replace with that. The time changes in different headers though - how can I replace it?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Bob
