Reply To: Grep to find all-italic paragraphs

Peter, you have an most enjoyably devious mind. :-) :-)
MANY thanks.

I was not aware of your GREP book. Thanks for that reference Ari, it’s on my GET list now.

Your search revealed something interesting – there were invisible (italic) characters at the beginning of some paragraphs that were tagged by the first step.
At the end of the third step- restoring the italics – these tags were left behind
<i></i>
and
</i><i>
Which I just removed and so got rid of those invisible chars

I read your message in the email notification I got and so used the literal form of < rather than < in the search, but it made no difference in the short test I made.

Thanks again for the enjoyable solution.

Jim
