How can I use lookahead/lookbehind one segment at a time!

Question

Here is an example of the raw text: At the time her design became the mascot, Murphy was featured in the [i]ReminderNews[/i], which was later acquired by The [i]Hartford Courant[/i] in 2014, and later renamed [i]Courant Community[/i]. Latest lame attempt to "catch" the middle characters, then use Found Text to change them to ital:(?<=($$i$$)).+(?=($$/i$$))My problem is that it keeps selecting all the text end to end.  I can't seem to have the "Match" commands stop and format stop and format.  Now, my brain hurts and hoping someone can straighten out my game.

My first GREP grabs the words and applies the italics.Another GREP that follows removes the markup left behind.You can achieve it in one query...Find: $$i$$(.+?)$$/i$$Change: $1
