Geany uses the Glib regex library whose syntax is described at https://developer.gnome.org/glib/stable/glib-regex-syntax.html Cheers Lex 2016-07-31 22:03 GMT+10:00 Vesta <laguna-mc(a)mail.com>om>:

Regular Expressions are a tad difficult to master. Basic question: you're using lazy modifiers on purpose right? Just checking. So, a dissection The regex engine (don't know what you're using) should hit \W*? and look for as few non word characters as possible (in some instances zero). Then it will look for ONE character in the character class [p{Lu}] (unicode?). Then it will look for zero or more instances of [p{Lu}] or a non-word character. This is until it gets to the closing tag. Since you're only looking for a single capital letter, why not try: <p(>.*?[[p{Lu}]].*?) Or better yet, since you're only replacing the p tag with p class="bold" why not just capture the initial p tag: ().*?[[p{Lu}]].*? Hope that gives you some starting ideas.

<p(>\W*?[[p{Lu}]][[p{Lu}]\W]*?) I just found this regex for unicode,Perl, somewhere and tried modify it, but it not works. I have Geany 1.23.1, I browsed it regex syntax, but there is no any examples. The text I want parse have multiple spaces inside paragraphs tags. Sometimes upper case text inside paragraphs are mixed with lower case characters or words - those paragraphs need be omitted. So we need match and apply bold class only to paragraphs, containing all upper case text, as in my examples. I tried both regex but it not works. <p(>.*?[[p{Lu}]].*?) ().*?[[p{Lu}]].*? Vesta

Hmm. Could you be more specific then? When you say it doesn't work, what kinds of lines is it missing and what kinds of lines is it catching? You could use a tool like regexpal to see what is and isn't matching. From the lack of descriptiveness in your message you might have just forgotten a semicolon for all anyone knows.

I don't know why it not work. Both regex just don't match anything. Below is screen shots. https://s31.postimg.org/myq22vtln/Screenshot_from_2016_08_02_23_17_55.png https://s32.postimg.org/ktjn7ywp1/Screenshot_from_2016_08_02_23_19_15.png

New subject: Remove Extra Whitespace from text

Thanks you for support. Regex is a quite tricky, however if there is no other way, regex is only solution. [[:space:]]+ There is one small issue with this: it also removes space between and when paragraphs begins from new line, i.e. first line text second line text so paragraphs merge in one line: first line text second line text The same for headers and paragraphs: <h1> text </h2> text becomes <h1> text </h2> text How to avoid this? Best Regards, Alex

learn regexes? :) For basic stuff like that it isn't so complex, and very powerful. Though, here you could also do it just replacing two spaces with one until there's no more to replace.

don't match newlines. " +" (without the quotes) is likely enough.

This will work: (<p)(>[^[:lower:]]*[[:upper:]][^[:lower:]]*) It matches any *but* lowercase, then one upper character, then anything *but* lower characters. Using "not lowercase" is useful to allow punctuation and digits. if you're interested in supporting uppercase tags, you'll need to make quantifiers ungreedy too: (<[pP])(>[^[:lower:]]*?[[:upper:]][^[:lower:]]*?</[pP]>) Cheers, Colomban

You should try and understand the regex instead of using it as a mere magic solution. … But here you go: ()([^[:lower:]]*[[:upper:]][^[:lower:]]*)() <h2>\2</h2>
