Hi David…
The only way you can extract them is if you can identify the bold text, so you
could do it by finding the <em> and <strong> and probably other tags in html..
and probably epub too, as I think that is basically html.
PDF’s i’m not sure of..
A single regex won’t do it, you’ll end up with some kind of script or BBEdit
Text Factory.
if html
look for content inside these tags
if epub
…
if pdf
..
etc.
To build a regex the best place to start is by finding examples of each thing
you want to match. Then show us the examples and we can help with the next
steps!
Cheers,
Dave
