Help with "Split at Multiple Locations" catching too much

fogice · Yesterday, 12:05 PM

I have a book where the author put the entire text in one file with no chapter breaks. Instead, there are break sections with "* * *".

I tried to set up a split based on "class = p1", which the author used for the section breaks. Unfortunately, it also catches paragraphs where "class = p11", "class = p12", etc.

How can I restrict this correctly? The "*" symbol only appears in the section breaks, if that helps.

Are there any chapter headings using the <h > tags? You could split on those.

If not, then I would run a Search and replace.
Search <p class="p1">* * *</p>
Replace <h2>* * *</h2>

Then split on the h2 tags. Then run another S&R to delete those tags once finished.
