On my blog I am using a plugin called Search Regex.

At the end of each Post, I delineate the lineage of the person the Post is about.

What is the regular expression please that would

Replace:

Joe Smith --> John Smith --> Bill Smith

With:

(div tag here)Joe Smith --> John Smith --> Bill Smith(closing div tag here)

Basically any line that contains a dash dash greater than sign I want the line to begin with this div tag and end with the closing div tag.

What is the regular expression that would identify any line with a dash dash greater than sign and then insert the above div tags please?

    Replace the regular expression /.*-->.*/ with the value <div>$0</div>, where $0 is a placeholder for the matched string (the exact syntax may vary depending on what language you are using).

    Note that . does not match a new line by default.
