In BBedit, Kevin’s sample <https://regex101.com/r/Y37GBu/1> works with only 2 backslashes (Python style, as originally presented), though it also works with the 3 backslashes, as you have it. (I was surprised to see the third backslash, but it does seem to be required for PGP style.)

It seems like one of those should work with pretty much everything, unless there is a line break in the search string, in which case, having (?s) at the start of the search string should do it.

TYVM!

But which is the syntax to use this kind of find and replace on any combination of characters?
Unfortunately I have some other strings to replace from one to another one but your syntax doesn't work on those. :(

TY.

Hi Antonio

Try searching for

and replacing by whatever you want.

Hello everyone,

As on subject, I need to replace all the chacacters included in a continously changing interval.

EG:  <a href=\"https:\/\/abcdefghijt\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"New Line Before Paragraph"La Fortezza di Bellinzona<\/a>

I'd like to ask BBEDIT to change everything from  <a href to /a>, including <a href and /a> themselves in the text that has to be changed.

Ty for you wise help.
