Wouldnt it be a lot easier to do a find/replace with a regex?

Something like finding all instances of _.*_, italicizing, then running through and deleting all of the underscores?

My regexp knowledge is very rusty, and in fact was never too bright to begin with, but it seems to me that automating tedious processes such as this is the whole reason we work with computers!
Can you elaborate on how this can be done, please? I couldn't find a way, hence the manual method I describe in the tutorial. I'd love to be able to automate the process!
