Memory – Barbra Streisand
Midnight
Not a sound from the pavement
Has the moon lost her memory?
She is smiling alone
In the lamplight, the withered leaves collect at my feet
And the wind begins to moan
Memory, all alone in the moonlight
I can dream of the old days, life was beautiful then
I remember the time I knew what happiness was
Let the memory live again

Regular Expression for A Number
I’ve recently had to delete pages numbers out of some of the novels I’ve saved on this site. A handy way of stripping out these numbers quickly is by using Dreamweaver’s search function, which can take a regular expression as a search term.
To get rid of numbers in the format [1]… [10]… [100] I just searched for;
[[0-9]+]
When I needed to get rid of the page line links (<a name=”Page_12″ id=”Page_12″></a>) I searched for;
<a name=”Page_[0-9]+” id=”Page_[0-9]+”></a>
