Apologies...this is a repost of something I added to an aging thread. I have read all of the old threads of problems with header/footer removal and regexp processing, but it is extremely unclear what the current status is. Below is my repost with a clearly identified issue. I'd just like to know when something is planned for the header/footer processing. Thanks

 and just don't seem to want to match in the regexp. Even when I use a blanket expression such as this: Text.*$, if the $ envelops a or it doesn't work. I have to explicitly make sure that $ does not match one of these, so I use: Text.*More text. As long as "More text" finishes just before the it is all good.

Any ideas when this will be fixed? Removing headers and footers at the moment is more about guesswork and experimentation.
