That's because you initially provided not enough information about the string to look for and the replacement. For example, my suggestions worked just fine for the specific string that I assumed you were looking for.

It obviously won't work if there are other tags between the text in <b></b> tags and "phrasal verb," which you forgot to mention.

BTW, regular expressions only work if the string that you're looking for has a predictable pattern. For more information see this tutorial website.
