yet another heading question

jhempel24 · 11-25-2010, 01:59 AM

I want to turn this

<p class="calibre10"><span class="calibre8 bold calibre11 calibre8">2</span></p>

Into this:

<H2>Chapter 2</H2>

But there are 100 chapters and I'd rather not do it one by one, is there a way to do that?

I've tried the \d+ thing from earlier, but maybe I'm not using it right....any help would be great!

Thanks!

If all of the chapters contain exactly the same

Code:

<p class="calibre10"><span class="calibre8 bold calibre11 calibre8">

and then the chapter number followed by

Code:

</span></p>

then search for (regex, minimal)

Code:

<p class="calibre10"><span class="calibre8 bold calibre11 calibre8">(\d+)</span></p>

replace

Code:

<h2>Chapter \1</h2>

use the parentheses as well is that right?

Yes, the parenthesis, means to store that as a group, which can be inserted in the replace, hence the \1 in the replace (meaning the first saved group, and in this case our only saved group)
Edit: we're storing the chapter number to be used in the replace
