Of course, it works very nicely but good deeds are always punished: I
need more help as now I have the problem to
find
\textbf{text}\index{text}
and replace it with
\NewTerm{text}
I tinkered a bit with the Find panel but there does not seem to be a
wild card and I know nothing of regular expressions.
Could someone
(a) give me the magic formula?
(b) direct me to an intro to regular expressions for dummies?
Regards
