I'm trying to use EdSharp to take a document consisting of a book with page
numbers at the bottom of each page and move those numbers to the top.
Hence, I'm using the .net regular expression syntax, though I don't think
I'm doing anything syntax-specific.
I can use a string, (.+\n\n)+(\d+)\n\n\f
To locate page numbers at the bottom of pages, and this works, but I can't
seem to devise a search and replace sequence that puts the page number at
the top of the correct page. Perhaps I need to use lookahead or lookbehind,
which I don't understand. It seems like something like this should be
possible, but I can't quite get it done. I will appreciate any guidance.
Thanks.
Dean
