Hi Lori,

I am wondering the same thing.  The book I am working on has dashes, (double 
hyphens) around page numbers and it is tedious getting rid of the dashes by 
hand.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] tricks for find and replace


Hi all,

I just discovered that a book has parenthesis around each page number.

I'm thinking I probably need to eliminate them. I know I could do this by
hand, but I'm wondering if find and replace can be exercised. For instance,
can you use wildcards? I'd like to perform a find and replace for (*) (**)
and (***) to make sure I get all of the page numbers. Of course, the * would
be the digit. Anyone ever done this?
