Hi Victoria,
Here is a possible two pass solution:
First:
A Case sensitive Find / Replace :
(?<=href=")([^#]+)#[^_]+_([A-Z][a-z]+)([A-Z][a-z]+)?([A-Z][a-z]+)?([A-Z][a-z]+)?([A-Z][a-z]+)?([A-Z][a-z]+)?([A-Z][a-z]+)?([A-Z][a-z]+)?([A-Z][a-z]+)?([A-Z][a-z]+)?(?=")
Replacement:
\1#\L\2-\3-\4-\5-\6-\7-\8-\9-\10-\11
That will give you:
<a
href="/premium-classic/before-you-start.xhtml#installing-lightroom--------">Installing
Lightroom</a>
<a
href="/premium-classic/before-you-start.xhtml#multiple-computers--------">Multiple
Computers</a>
<a
href="/premium-classic/before-you-start.xhtml#keeping-lightroom-updated-------">Keeping
Lightroom Updated</a>
<a
href="/premium-classic/managing-your-photos.xhtml#managing-folders-in-lightroom-and-on-the-hard-drive-">Managing
Folders in Lightroom and on the Hard Drive</a>
<a
href="/premium-classic/managing-your-photos.xhtml#changing-the-folder-structure------">Changing
the Folder Structure</a>
Second:
Find / Replace:
-+(?=">)
Let the replacement be empty:
That should work up to 10 terms camelCased query fragments.
