@Lupus
Assuming there is only a number (no whitespace) between the tags, the correct regex is
(?-i)<Space_Tactical_Unit_Cap>\d+</Space_Tactical_Unit_Cap>
and the Regular Expressions box in the find/replace dialog must be checked.

The (?-i) at the beginning makes the regular expression case-sensitive, which is good practice when working with XML tags.

@Lupus ,

If you are in SEARCH MODE = Regular Expression, then the syntax you showed would probably have worked in certain cases. Or use .*? in the middle to make it less greedy. Or use \d+ in the middle to only allow integers (as @Mark-Olson said as I was typing).

But you were basically there.
