      Hi @NZ-Select

      Try this S/R regex:

      Search: (?<=</)\x20+(?=\w+>)
      Replace: [leave empty]
      

      Take care.

        Thanks for the reply.

        I tried the code
        (?<=</)\x20+(?=\w+>)
        It does not seem to be taking an effect
        Here is the code

          Hi @NZ-Select

          The regex works fine for the provided examples, as I tested on Notepad++.

          For the new examples, try this one:

          Search: (?-s)< *?(/\w+) *?>
          Replace: <$1>
          

          Take care.

            Thank you, it indeed works in Notepad++

            What if I also want to remove like < / div >, in which the forward slash and div has a space?

            Here is the screenshot:

              Hi @NZ-Select

              I was expecting that one :) Easy to solve, indeed, the new regex solves this and the previous ones:

              Search: (?-s)< *?(/) *?(\w+) *?>
              Replace: <$1$2>
              

              Take care.

                A big thank you, it solved my problem beautifully.

                Amazing RegEx code!
                Saving me hours of work.
                And I hope it is helpful for other people who want to remove the tags as well.

                Thank you @astrosofista

                  If you want to get involved in regex —is not that hard—, let me suggest you to take a look at this page:

                        Can you send me the url of tiny/xml plugin?
                        I searched this plugin, no result found.
