and the replace field I have:

<div class="\1"><p class="\1"><span class="\1">\3</span></p><p class="\1">\4</p></div>

As a test, I went back before the first replacement and ran the "find" again. It found the same paragraph inside the div tag, which is not what I want.

I tried using the "^" in front of my search string, but this didn't stop it from finding the same p tag inside the div tag.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Hi kakkalla;

In the "Find" field, try using the following chain:

<p class="list(.+)"><span class="list(.*)">(.+)</span>(.+)</p>

And in the "Replace" field, use:

<div class="list\1"><p class="list\1"><span class="list\1">\3</span></p><p class="list\1">\4</p></div>

But it makes little sense to use the same class for the <p> and <span> tags because both of them will apply the same format. In that case, the <span> code is not necessary (is redundant). You could use in the "Replace" field the following chain:

<div class="list\1"><p class="list\1">\3</p><p class="list\1">\4</p></div>
