Hi all,
Spent way too much time on this without success so hopefully a regex guru can help me.
I have an xhtml document in Sigil that has a lot of nasty formatting that I want to remove. Specifically it has a series of <div> tags surrounding sets of paragraphs.
I have been trying to do a find/replace and the issue I have is trying to do a "non-greedy" match. The text looks like the following (it does not nest div tags):
Code:
<div class="s4">
<p class="calibre4">Blah blah</p>
<p class="calibre4">Blah blah</p>
<p class="calibre4">Blah blah</p>
</div>
<div class="s6">
<p class="calibre4">Blah blah</p>
</div>
<div class="s4">
<p class="calibre4">Blah blah</p>
</div>
Now let's say I am only interested in selecting the <div class="s4"> blocks and stripping their outer div tags.
What regex should I use? I've looked into negative lookups as well as non-greedy matches but my head hurts from lack of success. At it's simplest I had hoped I could use something like:
Find: <div class="s4">(.*?)</div>
Replace: \1
However that doesn't work. Could someone please suggest something? Worst case I will just remove the class from the div tags so it does nothing but it has now reached the point of insulting my pride if I let it completely beat me
