I'm sure this has been answered but I can't figure it out. I have an XML file in which I have no control on how the XML is generated. It has a different tag for each product section but they all start with Product_ Example <Product_ALSSFAAFR1.0_1> or <Product_CSCPTC1.0_2> etc. I need them to all say the same thing so I need to change them all to Product_Group but I can't figure out the syntax to select the whole tag and replace it with the new tag. Thank you for all and any help.

Okay, I finally figured out. My biggest challenge was trying to find where to turn on "Use Regular Expressions". Since they changed the Find window, I've been a tad lost. Thank you.

Every time I do a search for anything RegExp, I almost always see the haters and detractors venting about how one should never, ever use RegExp to search HTML or XML. I _LOVE_ RegExp! So robust, so useful, so wonderful.

Haters need to stop hating and start helping. Thank you for promoting RegExp, Ben.
