Well, it depends on what you want to do to those <ut> elements. But here's
an example (and note the "grep" box is checked at the bottom). This will
take the string

     <ut>this is what the number 5 looks like</ut>

and will return

     <banana>this is what the number  looks like</banana>

Does that help at all? More info about what you want to do with text
between the tags might be helpful, too.
