find all Xrefs
Is there a secret wild card character for "Cross-Reference"? (It's not
in the list of Special things in the Find-Replace dialog. As you know if you've been following my saga, I will have hundreds of cross- references in the form "(123)a" that will have to be changed to "(123a)" at the last moment after they've been decoupled from their hyperlinks; but there are a few like "(123)a-b" that will have to change to "(123a-b)". I can do the former by simply Find-Replacing )a , )b , )c , and )d with a) , b) , c) , and d) , but there are likely to be other examples of )- here and there, so I can't just search for them automatically. And Jay just mentioned a super-secret wild card " \1 " that refers to unspecified text found by Find! Is that correct? Backslash and not caret? And howcome I've never found this mentioned anywhere? It could have been quite useful over the years! Happy New Year, y'all (California and Hawaii, you'll have yours soon). |
