Just checking if anyone here has any tricks for a big clean up job I need to do in my GR imported reviews, reviews that will look godawful ugly like this when I had referenced, linked, to another book:
b:The Nature of Oaks: The Rich Ecology of Our Most Essential Native Trees|54110488|The Nature of Oaks The Rich Ecology of Our Most Essential Native Trees|Douglas W. Tallamy|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1608663515l/54110488._SX50_.jpg|84458549
Any hints for identifying which of my near 500 reviews I might have included GR links like that?
I don't suppose there is any magic to convert them to LT, but that is less a project than finding where all I did that.

I think I answered my own question! I might be getting the hang of this LibraryThing thing.
In the (universal) Search LibraryThing box, I searched
gr-assets.com
Which gave me 0 results.
Except then I clicked on the left side, under Your Books, All Collections. And there they were! Just 16 instances.
Whew. I can clean that up, np.

To find them, you can search your catalog for ""https", changing the drop-down next to the search box to "reviews"
ETA: that works too! Searching using the site search and then clicking "your books" on the left side is the same as searching from your catalog.

>3 norabelle414: Uh oh. I spoke too soon. Maybe I still don't know LT like I thought I did. What is "your catalog"? Is that the same as "your collections?"
AND OMG, there is a drop down box next to the Search Your Library box!
Will wonders never cease.

>4 DebiCates: Yes, sorry! "your books", "your catalog", "your collections" are all interchangeable. I usually use "catalog" myself but I try to remember to use "your books" when talking to others since that's what the tab on the dark brown bar is labeled.

>5 norabelle414: I can understand that. Being a newbie, I'm stuck using the precise phraseology, lest I confuse myself, or refer to something that already exists here that I'm unaware of but with a different meaning. ha
Thanks, once again, Norabelle.
