Ronald, you're a genius. Many thanks. I just did in two seconds what it
took all morning to do before I asked the question.

In a bit of utter stupidity, I've created a 500+ page web site in
which
the <TITLE> section is completely generic, as in:
<TITLE>This is the city website</TITLE>
On every page. Duh.
Not very good for search engines, or for my indexing software.
However, in the body of each page, I do have a headline, consistenly
coded, as in:
<span class="title">This is the headline</span>
What I'd like to do, is build a search and replace that will take the
contents of the headline and place them in the title area on each
page.
Can this be done with a Grep search? Any suggestions?
Or should I just start copying and pasting....
Try this:
Find
(?s)(<TITLE>).*?(</TITLE>.*?<span class="title">)(.*?)(</span>)
Replace
\1\3\2\3\4
The (?s) allows . to match newline, since your HTML is presumably
across
multiple lines. :)
