have you already tried http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20060730.070820.14c7c91e.en.html (extended regexp)?
I've just seen, that it does not work for nested braces: \footnote{x{y}z}: ok \footnote{x{y{z}}}: not ok The next one (normal regexp, not extended) has support for up to one level of nesting: \\footnote{[^{}]*\([^{}]*{[^{}]*\([^{}]*{[^{}]*}[^{}]*\)*[^{}]*}[^{}]*\)*[^{}]*} These examples seem to work: \footnote{x{y}z} \footnote{x{y{z}}} \footnote{x{y}z} \footnote{x{y{z}}x{y{z}}x{y}z} \footnote{x{y{z}}x{y{z}y{z}y}x{y}z} Cheers, Peter -- http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/
