My question is how find and replace something that has two consistent
markers, but a lot of variation inbetween, that covers multiple lines.
e.g.:
<head>
<varying tags>
other text not in tags
<more> stuff
<title>
I want to replace everything between <head> and <title>
Through reading the BBEdit manual, I was able to find out .*? would
act as my non-greedy wildcard except that it get caught on the line
breaks.
The pattern modifier (?s) will allow . to match \r in the rest of the
expression. (This is discussed in the "Advanced Grep Topics" in the
help.)
The following pattern should do the trick:
<head>(?s).*?<title>
