some textanother

Answer 1

example from notepad : trying to replace this text: 0x0145 test with this text: [0x0145] test

Answer 2

Use a regex like: <span class="italic">([\w\s\d]+)</span>

and replacement like: <i>$1</i>

The important point here is to create a matching group for your text by surrounding it in brackets i.e. ([\w\s\d]+) which matches one or more:

• \w word chars
• \s space chars
• \d numeric chars

Now in your replacement string, reference the first and only matched group with $1.

Answer 3

<span class="italic">([^<]+)</span> => <i>\1</i>

<span class="bold">([^<]+)</span> => <b>\1</b>

[^<]+ matches one or more of any character except <, and the parentheses capture it in group #1. \1 inserts the captured text into the replacement string.
