Morning everyone, first of all apologies if my initial posts wasn't specific enough and my first replies came across as unpolite, i've had some rather frustrating forum experiences last week and think i might have inadvertently slipped into 'oh no not again'-mode, and clearly this is not that :) Also not a fan of this google forum software which doesn't let me edit my inital post for clarification and seem to put replies where it wants and not where they should be, might be just me but i find it very hard to follow threads where several people are replying to different posts.
hope you wont hold it against me, i'm not usually such an ass :P so back to the issue at hand: *Chris* your solution: <structured-content[^>]+>(.+?)</structured-content> > works great, however i forgot to mention that the <structured-content ... > tags can also contain other <structured-content> tags like this: <structured-content>some random text here <random-tag>with some other random content</random-tag> and more text <structured-content>can be here also <structured-content>or <more-random>here</more-random> as well </structured-content> maybe here too </structured-content>and also here </structured-content> in these cases it will use the end tag of the inner tag as closing tag .. so that doesn't work in these cases .. but still very cool to see this solution and i'm learning a lot from it. I don't suppose there is a way to modify your solution to work in this case since i don't know upfront if or how many sub-tags there are in each. *Bruce* your solution <\/*named-content[^>]*> > seems safer since it finds the opening and ending tags separately ... since i need to remove *all* <structured-content> tags this works for me (i think .. still stepping through one file testing to make sure i don't remove anything i shouldn't and there arent other special cases i hadn't thought of) -- This is the BBEdit Talk public discussion group.
