Hi,
Maybe EdSharp uses .Net regular expressions, and maybe they are different from
Perl regular expressions. I was trying to use $1 to capture and replace, but it
was literally inserting $1. I was trying to put
\f before $1 in the replacement expression. I'm attempting to find what it
thinks might be titles and put a page break before them so that I can simply
look through the document and spot check to see if the lines are really titles
rather than read the whole thousand pages and find them all by hand.
Thanks.
Jim

It does, just not inside a character class. If you wanted to match something
from one of several character classes using `|', you would do something
like:
----------
[a-z]|[A-Z]|[...]
----------
But you can just spell out everything you want to match in a single character
class, so I don't see that as particularly useful.

Hi,
I'm misusing the vertical bar. I thought it created an or condition.

You're including `|' in your last character class, not matching uppercase
letters or lowercase letters or digits. This means something like `This is a
test|' will match, which, of course, is fine if that's what you're intending. :)
----------
^[A-Z].+[A-Za-z0-9]$
----------

Hi,
How would you construct a regular expression that looks for the first letter of
any line in upper case followed by the rest of the line as long as it ends with
a letter or number? Would it be something like this?
^[A-Z].*[A-Z|a-z|1-9]$
Thanks.
