This one uses the old format of Sigil Regex, but I find it very useful. Basically I use it to take a document that was text and thus not broken up into chapters but with them labeled, and to find them, highlight them and add the break marks

For books with Chapter I, Chapter II, and so on (Roman Numerals) or with Chapter 1, Chapter 2. (And of course, use it in code view)

Search for

CHAPTER [0-9XVI]+

And replace with

<hr class="sigilChapterBreak" /><h3>\0</h3>

On occasion it will find a phrase like "chapter in" in the text, but that's pretty rare (and just check the TOC before having it split)
