Nedit Comrades, Thanks for those responses. The one I used was Matthjis and his regex search/replace below. I should have realised it would be easy there. Nedit regex is certainly nice, seems to have the best of all the regex packages, eg. non-greedy matching. I've experienced that before, you battle with grep, grep -E, some Perl, to achive something, and then Nedit regex has it easy as pie.
