Replace text in multimple files ONLY in a specific XML tag

[Simon McMahon]

Hi there, I have some XML files which have the following lines in them:
<active>2019-02-24T11:30:00</active>
<expires>2019-03-10T11:30:00</expires>

I would like a Macro that uses editor.ReplaceInFiles and looks for line that starts with the <active> tag, then replaces the T11:30:00 with a new string like T14:00:00.

The same logic would apply to line that starts with the <expires> tag, and replaces T11:30:00 with a *different* value ie: T23:00:00.

I can use editor.ReplaceInFiles in a macro but it replaces all occurances of a value. I want to be specific to only lines starting with <active> or <expires>.

Does that make sense?

Happy to send through a sample file if that helps.

Thanks, Simon

You mean:

Search for .: T11:30:00</active
Replace with: T14:00:00</active

Plain text search, no regex search.

Ahh, yes Stefan, working from the end of the line is a good idea. Thank you very much.
