WORD 2003 Complex Replace Problem
I have a complicated Find and Replace problem in WORD 2003 under WIN XP.
I have a word doocement that contains strings similar to the following: *11(1) [5] [85] [97] [104] [149]; *29(2) [226] I want to find all entries *11(1) followed by a string of references each one enclosed in square brackets and the whole "element" terminated by a semi-colon. Having found them, I want to replace those references which are less than [145]. So in the example above, I want to end up with: *11(1) [149]; *29(2) [226] However if I wanted to remove all references less than, say, [150] then I would want the result to be: *29(2) [226] i.e removing the complete entry including the 11(1) becasue it is now redundant. Is it feasible to do this using Find and Replace or must I resign myself to doing it manually? Many thanks in advance to anyone who can help. |
