Thanks pepak.

The problem I have, is that .* isn't matching across lines, or rather (?mi) or (?m) isn't making .* match across lines.

Eg, it won't even match

Code:

(?m)\nOrder your copy

ie it doesn't like the \n on one line, then Order on the next, yet it matches perfectly on

Code:

(?m)Order your copy

The minute I do anything to the regex to make it match the line before or the line after, it doesn't match anything.

Are you able to test any multiline regex (ideally from a pdf source) either using the remove header or remove footer options, and have the regex builder highlight two or more lines?

If it helps, I'm running calibre 0.6.49 now, but I couldn't get it working in 0.6.45 either.

prk.
