I believe the following find/replace should work. I took your description to mean that the contents inside h1 should be replaced with the contents of the title1 tag and vice versa. This achieved that in brief testing.
Search for: (?s)<(title1)>(.+?)</\1>(.+?)<h1>(.+?)</h1> Replace with: <\1>\4</\1>\3<h1>\2</h1> The (?s) allows the . to match across new lines. -Kendall On Tuesday, May 22, 2012 5:49:06 PM UTC-4, Be wrote: > > Is this even possible using Grep? > > I have a variable string towards the top of each document that looks like: > > <title1>Variable string with unknown number of words, digits, spaces and > returns</title1> > > I have another variable string a little further down in each document that > looks like: > > <h1>Variable string with same unknowns as the first variable string</h1> > > I want to replace the 2nd string with the first string. > > Any ideas would be appreciated.
