No, Sigil Clip Editor cannot use replace patterns. The way that Sigil Clips works is you highlight text, and then you apply the Clip.

Your highlighted text will be grouped into:

1

So let's say you highlight:

This is text I |want in italics|.

Clip: <i>1</i>

This is text I <i>want in italics</i>.

Clips are designed more as a one-button-push for redundant stuff (like pasting in template code for a figure with caption, etc. etc.)

For example, mobileread user Tex2002ans created this Sigil Clip for himself:

<div class="chart">
<div class="single-chart">
<div class="chart-title"></div>

<div class="image"></div>

<div class="chart-caption"></div>
</div>
</div>

and then he can easily just insert the needed info/images.

To do more advanced Search/Replace using Regex, you use Tools > Saved Searches. www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?p=3808345#post3808345
