Need help creating regex to change italic markings

Hi all,

I'm hoping more experienced users can help me out.

I'm trying to create a regex that will alter all italic markings to go from something like this:

<i>JOHN: Thanks.</i>

to

JOHN: <i>Thanks.</i>

This works like a dream! Thank you so much.

When you mentioned it before, I thought you were starting me off with a partial pattern. Didn't realize you had given me the whole thing.

Could the following conditions be added to this rule or a new one if it's easier?
  • If there's a space/numeral after the first word eg., "<i>MAN 1:" or "<i>WOMAN ON PA:"
  • If there's a dialogue dash before the first word eg., "<i>-MAN 1:"
Also, how can I tweak the regex above to do the same thing but where there are brackets?

<i>[man 2] How are you today?</i>

to this:

[man 2] <i>How are you today?</i>

Something like this?

(<i>)(\[[A-Z \d]\]) replace: $2 <i>
