Regular expression - Example needed

[americhanac]

Hi all,

I'm looking into Calibre to sort out my large e-book collection and it's looking good so far, actually I love it.

Browsing trough, I saw many possiblities and one of them is those regular expressions. Now to my question:

Can conversion be used to insert and control first 5 lines of txt file conversion output so the txt output will have those first 5 set as anything I please? This I need for bulk conversion.

From what I understand, it can be done but I could use an example directly relating to what I'm after as a point of reference before I go to any more complexed undertakings

Thanks for (anyone's) answer!

Sure, with search and replace you can do this. Note at the time it hits Search and replace you need to write html.

Should be something like this search:

(?P<bdy><body[^>]*>)

Replace should be something like this:

\g<bdy>\n<p>line1</p>\n<p>line2</p>\n<p>line3</p>\n<p>line4</p>\n<p>line5</p>\n
