I'm looking to correct some scan errors for the letter I.

Quote:
bla bla bla 1 don't want to, l went to the shop
but I don't want to match

Quote:
Chapter 1 or Book 1 etc
I'm thinking that it needs to be a negative lookahead but can't get it right.
Code:
(?!(?i)(Chapter 1(\s?|<)|Part 1|Section 1|Book 1)) ([1|l])
Any suggestions?

This works:
"(?<!Chapter|Book|Part) ([1|l]) "
(without the quotes)

But you need to start the search at the beginning of the area...eg make sure the cursor isn't in the middle of the word "Chapter" or something.

Here a regex I find useful for finding & correcting contractions that have spaces in them. Don't blast this with a replace all as it does match false positives where a word has been shortened to only a single letter.

Target text.

wasn ’t
Couldn’ t
I ‘m
False positive
Quote:
Th’ lads ’re all
An’ let ’m
what ’m I going to do
Code:
Search \b(\s(‘|’)|(‘|’)\s)(d|m|s|t|ll|re|ve)\b(?!’)
Replace ’\4

Something along the lines of this should produce better results. But please test well; I'm winging this fairly blind (and am guessing that you want to remove ALL page numbers encountered)

Code:
<b>Page \d+</b><br>
<hr/>
<a id="p\d+">

I couldn't get that to work and I am wondering if I am not posting all of it. The full thing is...

<br>
<b>Page 3</b><br>
<hr/>
<a id="p4"></a><b>Generated by ABC Amber LIT Conv<a href="http://www.processtext.com/abclit.html">erter, http://www.processtext.com/abclit.html</a></b><br>

I can remove the generated by abc part no problem and at times if I remove [hr/] helps... but it is the page numbers.

Not sure if I am doing this correctly...

That should work for the search.

Matching a digit 0 or more times doesn't really make sense when there's never going to be no digit (though it will still work in this instance). Matching one or more digits [0-9]+ makes more logical sense. And \d+ is even simpler, since it's the exact same thing, but shorter and easier to type.

That's going to be tricky, since the html tags can be easily mangled if you're not very careful.

No videos, but this is where I turn to for all my regex needs:
