I'm struggling with a regular expression to match this:

<SITE_LOC_ID><!--help--></SITE_LOC_ID>

Where the help content is any string that contains one or more 
characters that are NOT digits.

I know [^0-9] would match a single non-digit character.  But I don't 
know how to allow there to be one or more such characters mixed in zero 
or more digit characters.

I need to return the strings that match this so that I can replace them.

Plus this is a xml file that will have upwards of 75,000 record nodes 
each with one of these <SITE_LOC_ID>...</SITE_LOC_ID> nodes along side 
several other nodes of each record.  So I want to make sure I match only 
the content of a single node.

TIA

P.S.  The file is too large to parse into an XML data structure, so I am 
doing simple string replace() and rereplace() functions to modify the 
XML text file.
