Regexp help

[Luther Blisset]

Hi all,

I would like to replace text between two tags with a new line (\n).
The starting tag is: <!-- - <a href=“#”>
The ending tag is: <strong>

Example:

• input:
  textbefore<tag1>abcdefg<tag2>textafter

• output:
  textbefore
  textafter

Could someone be some kind to help me?

Thanks in advance,

cid

Sure…fairly easy. In fact, so easy that if you know the term “Regexp” then you should be able to get this one yourself. But here you go:

Find what zone: (?-s)<tag1>.+?<tag2>
Replace with zone: \r\n <—if using Windows line-endings
Search mode selection: Regular expression

Done, Thanks for your help!

I’m familiar with regexp concept but never used them before.

Best regards,
