Here's a regex that does it:

With only one regex, it's complicated. The regex above uses the recursion of capture group 2 (?2)) to traverse the nested tags starting from the div tag with class "whatever". Group 3, which contains the recursion, is atomic (?>) to avoid catastrophic backtracking. The next step will be to beautiful again the files.
A more elegant solution would have been to write a regex-function: the regex selects the group of divs and passes the selection to a Python function that already has the necessary functions to match the </div>. |
Very impressive! I didn't think it was possible.
