I have a very long Writer file which is completely filled by XML code. I would like to delete all the content between “<” and “>”, including both symbols, and let only the non-coded text. I’ve search on the web and the only examples I read were in Calc. I tried the tips on the writer file with no success. How can I do it using File&Replace automatically?
I understand that you want to strip the XML tags/code from marked up text.
e.g. Input:<html> 0 </html>
Output: 0
Try: Find and Replace - Other Options - Regular Expressions
To replace the regular expression:
<[^>]*>
with a space character.
Caveat: I have not tested this myself.
