Strings in question

Hi all,

i have html files similar to this

<DIV>A file with tags similar to this</DIV>

<DIV CLASS=LOH>
<FONT COLOR=#1C2A5E SIZE=4>Objectives</FONT>
</DIV>

<DIV CLASS=LOBL>
<FONT COLOR=#FC8051>*</FONT><FONT> Convey the scope of microeconomic theory and explain why theory, in general, is essential to understanding and predicting real-world outcomes.</FONT>
</DIV>

I have to replacement tags for all such tags

example:
<DIV>A file with tags similar to this</DIV>
should be replaced as
<P>A file with tags similar to this</P>


<DIV CLASS=LOH>
<FONT COLOR=#1C2A5E SIZE=4>Objectives</FONT>
</DIV>

should be replaced as

<box id="c##-box-####"><FONT COLOR=#1C2A5E SIZE=4>Objectives</FONT></box>

and so on...


i have used straight forward replacement macros but i am able to change the starting tags only...

how can i specify the full range of text from <DIV..... to </DIV> and replace them with my tag?.

i am currently doing those manually and it is a huge pain. Please help me with a solution as i have many files like these

Thanks in Advance

You'd have to sstart from the begining of the file, and look for the specific opening tags, then look for the first closing tag that matches (assuming no nesting) then use the replace function on that part of the file.

Essentially recreate the file but change parts as you go.

Not sure the best method, but I suggest you flowchart how you would do it if you were doing it manually yourself then change that flow chart into code.
