To this html code I wanted to select the text between the tags and replace
the original text with \n character removed. There is a more complex example
that I wanted to ask, here is the problem:

Original
______________________________
<p>Mike
<strong>Gilbert </strong>
 Senior</p>
_____________________________

After search & replace:
______________________________
<p>Mike <strong>Gilbert</strong> Senior</p>
_____________________________

I hope you really got what I was asking.

TIA
