[OS X TeX] Boldface

[Alain Schremmer]

Of course, it works very nicely but good deeds are always punished: I 
need more help as now I have the problem to

find
        \textbf{text}\index{text}
and replace it with
        \NewTerm{text}

I tinkered a bit with the Find panel but there does not seem to be a 
wild card and I know nothing of regular expressions.

Could someone
    (a) give me the magic formula?
    (b) direct me to an intro to regular expressions for dummies?

Regards
