Not sure whats your problem, maybe 'multiline text' is causing the regex to fail.
Alternatively, you can use GQuery and work with the nodes instead of strings. Something like (html must start with '<')... Gquery root = $(html); // to read... String pInnerHtml = root.filter(true,"#pid").html(); // to write... root.filter(true,"#pid").html("updated <b>content</b>"); // finally, append to the dom root.appendTo(somePlace); On Saturday, May 30, 2015 at 12:04:39 PM UTC+2, Alireza Rezaei Mahdiraji wrote: > > > Hi All, > > I am trying to apply a regular expression on a TextResource (which is an > html file), > > but it does not work.
