Hi I have this XML and would like to remove one element. Can anyone please help me.

Example. I want to remove tag2.
<tag1>abcde</tag1>
<tag2>fghij</tag2>
<tag3>klmno</tag3>

so my output should be like this.
<tag1>abcde</tag1>
<tag3>klmno</tag3>

Thanks in advance!

Search for : <tag2>.*</tag2>
Replace with: NOTHING

Use the following settings:
-----------------------------------------
[X] Regular expression
Replace All
-----------------------------------------
Configure | Preferences | Editor
[X] Use POSIX regular expression syntax
-----------------------------------------
