Regex: Parsing / Extract the content of a html tag and save it another file?

[Vasile Caraus]

hello, I have several html file. Is it possible to extract the content of the <title></title> tag on each file, and save them on another file? For example:

file-1.html, file-2.html, file-3.html, …file 800.html

each of them has the same tag, but with different content:

file-1.html
<title>My name is Prince</title>

file-2.html
<title>I love cars</title>
…
file-800.html
<title>My book is here</title>

So, I need to extract the content of these tags, and save them into another file, for example save.txt

In save.txt I will have:

My name is Prince
I love cars
...
My book is here

The regex to select the content of all title tags is this: (?s)<title>(.*?)<\/title> What should I do next as to save all the results automatically?

What should I do next

I would run a Find in Files search, then Ctrl+a then Ctrl+c the output in the Search results window, then paste that into a new N++ tab and start processing that output with more regular expression replacements…

(?s)<title>(.*?)</title>

ok, so I run this regex: (?s)(<title>)(.*?)(<\/title>) in all files. I copy the results in save.txt file, and I got something like this

<title>My name is Prince</title>
<title>I love cars</title>
<title>My book is here</title>

Now, I must extract the content from tags, and I use the same regex, with replace:

Find: (?s)(<title>)(.*?)(<\/title>)
Replace by: \2

The output

My name is Prince
I love cars
My book is here

thanks. I thought it could be done in one move. :)
