Want to use RegEX in Book-View

GOROW · 10-11-2013, 10:17 AM

Hello all,
I tried to use RegEx in BookView, but Sigil allways Switches to CodeView. Is there a way to avoid this?
Or does Find with RegEx only work in Code-mode?

Thanks für help

I believe it will stay in BV if the Mode is 'Current File'

Really? I thought it would always switch to CV.

Really

TESTED
only works if you set CURRENT FILE

I would recommend extreme caution in doing much in the way of replacement in Book View. And by much, I mean, of course, any.

There's a reason BV F&R went bye-bye. Mostly because of the high probability of stuff getting broken.

Yes!
I would recommend using it to fix spelling/word errors without format shift.
Removing all characters inside a tag, will still leave a tag behind the scenes

BV is good for a FIND, but you really are better off doing replace in CV where you see what all gets hit

Dear Community, thanks a lot. Current File works fine.
If I change contents of an Epub I allways create a working copy.
