[Geany-Users] Regular expression, for Unicode characters

[James Ginns]

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}]].*?</p>)

Or better yet, since you're only replacing the p tag with p class="bold" 
why not just capture the initial p tag:

(<p>).*?[[p{Lu}]].*?</p>

Hope that gives you some starting ideas.
