search & replace with ebook-convert

Stefan.9 · 02-08-2012, 06:49 AM

Hello everybody,

I am trying to do a search & replace job while converting epub to mobi with ebook-convert. I tried the following:

Code:

ebook-convert inputfile.epub outputfile.mobi --sr1-search "blue" --sr1-replace "red"
ebook-convert inputfile.epub outputfile.mobi --sr1-search 'blue' --sr1-replace 'red'
ebook-convert inputfile.epub outputfile.mobi --sr1-search blue --sr1-replace red

The search phrases are definitly in the text, but nothing is replaced.
I also tried mobi to mobi conversion. Still no luck.

Am I doing something completly wrong? Can someone help me out?

Thank you very much!
