You can brute force it, since you are getting a stack error with
Ronald's suggestion:
<filter>\s+<start>[^<]+</start>\s+<end>[^<]+</end>\s+<effect>\s
+<name>Shift Fields</name>\s+<effectid>[^<]+</effectid>
etc etc.
\s matches all whitespace, including carriage returns and [^<]+
matches any non < character, so I use it all the time to find the
between tag data in XML and HTML files:
<title>([^<]+)</title> will get the title text of the document and put
it into \1
NB: I had some weirdness trying to test that find/replace with the non-
modal find dialog. Something would work, then fail if I pasted the
regex in, then it would work again. Dunno why yet, but the modal find
seemed to work. It's probably something I'm doing, but if you have
issue, switch back the non-modal and see how it works.
