Regular Expression with XML in notepad++

Question

I have a xml like below:

<example id='1'>
   <val name='test1'/>
</example>
<example id='2' command='delete'>
   <val name='test2'/>
</example>
<example id='3'>
   <val name='test3'/>
</example>

I'm trying to use regular expressions within notepad++ to delete all example items with commands='delete' so that in the above example, test1 and test3 should be remaining.

I can easily do ones with no values like below but it's just the ones with values.

 <example id='1' command='delete' />

Answer 1

You can use

<example[^>]+command='delete'[^>]*>.*?<\/example>

(enable "dot matches newline")

and replace with the empty string.

Answer 2

This does it:

<example[^\n]*delete.*?</example>\r\n

Remember to check "match newlines".

Answer 3

请使用搜索模式：“正则表达式”与“。匹配换行符”

<example.[^>]*command='delete'.*?</example>
