Question

This is the sample text that I’m working with. I’m using Coda to do a find and replace…

<td width="20%"><div > Item #</div></td>
<td width="20%"><div > Pole Tip</div></td>
<td width="20%"><div > Length</div></td>
<td width="20%"><div > Test Weight (lbs.)</div></td>
<td width="20%"><div > Price</div></td>

I want to get rid of the div tags that markup the text inside the td.

Ex…I want to change this:

<td width="20%"><div > Item #</div></td>

to this:

<td width="20%">Item #</td>

---

So far I have this as a regex:

<div >[\s\w\(\)#]*</div>

However this matches all of the above in my sample text EXCEPT:

<td width="20%"><div > Test Weight (lbs.)</div></td>

In my regex, I even tried to add the ( and )…what am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

Thats because you missed the . This works just fine

<div >[\s\w\(\)#.]*</div>
