Regex replace text with < in Notepad++

Question

I am having a hard time with replacing this text with something else . This XML uses also next lines .

     <Need>
        <Need type="money" amount="100"/>
     </Need>

I have tried it with this :

<Need>([\n]*[a-Z]*)</Need>

<Need>(?:[^\n]*(\n+))+</Need>

<Need>([^\n]*[0->]*[a-Z]*)</Need>

<Need>([^\n]*[a-Z]*)</Need>

Non of them worked and 2 deleted the whole text :( .

Answer 1

Find:

<Need>(.*?)</Need>

Replace by:

$1

Be sure that:

• regular expression is checked.
• . (dot) matches newline is checked.

Answer 2

使用它进行广泛的搜索并考虑空格和换行符进行替换。

[\s]*<Need>[\r\s]*<Need[^/]*/>[\r\s]*</Need>
