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?
Yes, of course, Kaveh - thanks for your speedy reply - again!I got this the other day (you helped with it) to find a line of text (or text and numbers) which end with a colon and a space - <p>(.+?)\: It's brilliant, but there are occasions when I want to avoid a pattern such as <strong>123</strong>. 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?
Something that I've been unable to find out is how to skip searching something which already contains a simple pattern: For instance, to find a number consisting 1-3 digits I use (\d{1,3}) - but how can I AVOID a number of up to 3 digits? Thanks in advance - Andy
