Could REGEX wizards help, please? I need a regex search that will find all words that begin with XX in Field Z, and then removing the first n characters of every such word.

I read the regex stuff in the manual, did some internet searches, but no cigar. Can anyone help?

Hi,

This is to be done in Bookends? It can't be done -- Bookends limits you to searches only.

You'd have to export as a tab-deliminted file, open in something like BBEdit (maybe Mellel), process, then import that back into Bookends.

Hi,
Perhaps you could do the search within BE first, and then export only those references (hits) to be processed. But maybe I am being too obvious here, sorry.
