Someone might have something better, but I think you could use the up to a colon match, and replace with <strong>\1</strong>. This might double strong your numbers. Then search for <strong><strong>(.*?)</strong></strong> and replace with <strong>\1</strong> to get rid of the duplicate holding. It’s a two step processes.

No Kaveh - Unfortunately Fletcher's reply doesn't help. I'll try to clarify. In this case, I want to make bold parts of some lines of text which begin with <p> up to where the bold part will end at a colon (:) Any text after the colon won't be bold.

I hope that's more clear. Apologies for the lack of clarity. Andy On Sunday, 14 May 2023 at 20:11:38 UTC+1 Kaveh Bazargan wrote:
Sorry, still not clear for me. Does Fletcher's answer work?
Are you saying there are specific numbers you do not want to match, say <strong>135</strong> but ones that you do want to match, say <strong>137</strong>
?
Otherwise can you explain further?

The number varies, (from 1 to 999) and there may be other numbers, but I want to include those. In other words, avoid lines with numbers within the <strong></strong> tags.
At other times, I want to avoid a certain word (or html). I hope that makes sense! Andy

can you give examples of strings you want to match and strings you don't want to match?
