i dont use regex often enough to retain a thorough understanding. I know enough to write simple formulas for find replace within ebooks, but this one is too dense to follow, even via the previous link

I conceptualise it as need to find stuff which begins <a then then delete up to and including a matching /a>

when I blindly apply it in sigil, it has a 100% success rate in stripping all the <a from entire books automatically , so it may be catering for some tricky edge - cases ?
