Try doing a NON-greedy search by putting a ? After your selector:

REReplaceNoCase(
        inputxml,
        "<text[^>]*>(.*?)<\/text>",
        "",
        "ONE"
        )


Notice, (.*?) this should match the shortest possible string.

Subject: Replace content between tags (REReplaceNoCase)

Hello guys,

i have a problem with the following regex:
REReplaceNoCase(inputxml,"<text[^>]*>(.*)<\/text>","")

The regex should replace the tag <text> with all the content inside
(even other tags). It works fine if only one <text>...</text> is in the
whole string. But if theres a second or a third the replace works wrong.

Example String that works right:

"bla bla bla <text>bla bla <b>bla</b>bla</text> bla bla bla"

Example String that works false:

"bla bla bla <text>bla bla <b>bla</b>bla</text> bla bla bla <text>bla
bla <b>bla</b>bla</text>"

The replace will start at the first <text> and does end at the very last
</text> at the end of the string.

Does anyone have a idea how i have to optimize my expression?
