(?<=</)\x20+(?=\w+>)

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?

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.

<$1$2>

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

You’re welcome. Glad to be of help.

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