Regular expression to delete tags only containing whitespace

2 New Member
I am trying to delete the following from my file:
<Body>

</Body>

I have tried searching for <Body>[\s]+</Body> and <Body>\s+</Body> but neither works.

Thank you for any help.

basicly your value doesn't contain only whitespaces in case it looks like you have shown. it also contains linefeeds ... so try:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. <body>[ \n]+<\/body>
for the match.

kind regards
