Search and Replace using Regex

Experts,

Ex--

<div>
<table></table>
</div>

Let me just say this - I love regular expressions! You can do so much with them.

There, now that I have that out of the way, I recommend two very helpful websites:

Regex Tutorial
Regex Tester

The first site provides valuable information about how to use Regexes, and the second has a handy way to test them out before you run them in your code.

Keep in mind that linebreaks in Windows are represented by \r\n
