this regex will remove every pagenumber that stands by itself in a row.
if there is something like "Page 3" (having the html-Syntax of "<p>Page 3 </p>", you have to adjust your regex, too:
Code:
(<p>Page\s*\d+\s*<p>)
If it's becoming more difficult, you can use the wizard to verify your results, but in general you have to replace the closing tag with a "normal" to get it to work with in the conversion. |
Thanks matthias, I will bookmark this and give it a go next time. I usually try to do more than page numbers, I do headers with book and chapter names (usually have some formatting that differentiates them from other text) and sometimes document name/date header/footers. It's hard to know if you're nuking them without the highlighting. Will try though.
