Anyone can help me with a regular expression problem?

I want to find and replace between html tags So, if I have

<p>hello</p> <i>bye bye</i>

I want to search and replace e to u for example. So the result would be

<p>hullo</p> <i>byu byu</i>

i think it’s easy to work around this problem, but i’m spending more time than i expected…

Thanks!

Use a parser, find all tags then do a string replace on the node contents. – hwnd Jul 22 '15 at 03:53
Absolutely brilliant answer, @BurningCrystals!! I'm trying to edit an epub file. I'm using Sigil (http://sigil-ebook.com/) that implement regex search. But it's insane. I only want to replace inside brackets. Seems easy to solve, but as much i read, more difficult seems to solve that in an easy way. – Samurai pizza cat Jul 22 '15 at 04:05
Ok guys, i have the answer: DO NOT USE REGEXP TO PARSE HTML. Question solved. I hated this problem tonight. Let's try another thing. Thanks a lot. – Samurai pizza cat Jul 22 '15 at 04:26
