Perhaps I'd be faster still... but you do seem to assume a far lower level of efficiency in my text editor use than I actually enjoy. - Ahi |

The thing is that ONLY the number removal part works '\d{1,4}'. If I add any other piece to it, absolutely nothing happens to the selected text. The code you are using does appear to match the reference in Book Cleaner. I've tried everything I can think of, but am at a loss as to how to proceed. This was one of my problems coming in --- the code for removing whatever is in the empty space has no effect. If I do this to the highlighted text... \s*\n+\s* ...nothing happens. I'm leaving the Replace box in Book Cleaner empty. Is that correct? |

Well, the simplest thing I can think of is to import the text into Word or Atlantic Word Processor and search for this:
^p^p^#^#^#^p^p And replace with a blank. At least that works for your example text. The way it is, it will only work for 3 digit page numbers. You can modify it for 2 digit and one digit page numbers appropriately. Ofcourse there might be a clever way in Word to set it as 1 or 2 or 3 digits and then you wouldn't need to do that. |

Great to hear it worked out for you . From my limited experience with making ebooks, I'd strongly recommend doing whatever it takes to fix the text before working on any formatting. That way you can export the text to any other text editor/word processor of choice, fix things, and then paste it back in and go about with making Titles and the TOC.
