Thanks Paul,

I think it will be great to share our tips in a wiki page. I will open one 
soon...

Well, the feature itself uses the standard java regular expressions and is
actually fairly simple to understand. I would recommend to have a go at
regular expressions before trying that feature. For instance, you can try

http://www.gskinner.com/RegExr/
or
http://www.regextester.com


to test the results. Another great read is also:

http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/releases/1.4regex/

Be aware that there are different types of regexp. So not all commands may
work (luckily, eclipse displays the available commands on the input dialog)


Btw, a great one I use quite often is this: <TAG\b[^>]*>(.*?)</TAG>
It'll grab the start and ending ending of a specified html tag. You can then
use the select the inner element using $1 :)
