Now I get it... The replace part threw me.
Works pretty slick too.

Jeez, wish I had noticed that.

LaTex you say, who'd have guessed with a latex based tool... ; ).
Yeah, grep is what I was after, by RE I just meant "regular
expressions" .. The language grep uses. In fact I'm told the word
grep comes from Global Regular ExPression. From use in the old time
editor "ed"
I see they can be grepped alright but the handy TOC numbers are not in
those files makeing it hard to connect a grepped hit to a section. I
guess I can grep and then use those finds in the FIND/REPLACE tool
seems a bit of a riggermorole ... It would be nice if the FIND/REPLACE
tool supported Regular Expressions.
