[Regex] How to remove a whole final section from a blog post?

[HenryHutton]

I "news fetched" some posts from a blog of an author I would like to have on my e-reader as an ebook.

Now I am trying to edit out with the Editor the last section of each post , which contains links and informations I don't need on the final ebook.

All posts end with a signature, a motto, which is:

<p class="calibre10"><span>[Il mondo è bello, siamo noi ad esser ciechi]</span></p>

So my aim is to get an expression that includes this last previous bit (as a (group) to feed the "replace" field), down to

</body>

</html>

(ideally a second (group) ), so to trim out all the links and unneeded infos.

Well, so far I didn't achieved much..

My BEST () guess was...

(\[Il mondo è bello, siamo noi ad esser ciechi\])*</body>\w+</html>

but of course it doesn't work.

Any other functions/tricks that would achieve the same output are welcome!

I running short of time, that's why I am asking some hints instead of reading and learning more (or edit them all out manually).



I attach one of the html fetched.

The blog is reachable here, for the record:

To strip out the whole footer, I would rather do this search/replace, don't you think so ?

search:
\s<p class="calibre10"><span>\[Il mondo è bello, siamo noi ad esser ciechi\].*</body>

replace:
</div>\n\n  </div>\n\n</body>

@Henry:
"dot all" must be checked.
(the cursor must be on top of the file, or, at least, before the part that will be removed)

No group is necessary (unless you want put </body> in a group), since you're not reusing anything from the selected expression.
The 2 </div> in the replace field are necessary, if not, the code would be unbalanced and the book checking (F7) will fail
* is not enough to "select everything", it's only a multiplicator. You need .* or .*? to select everything (respectively greedy or not greedy)
