Regex questions

Post by Martin »

I want to search for the last occurance of the closing table tag in a html file. The search selection should start with </table> and expand all the way to the end of the file.

...
</tr>
</table>
</table>
Garbage I want to strip.
[EOF]

I tried
</table>.+
as search expression. But this spans the selection from the first </table>-tag to the end of the file.

Does anybody have a suggestion?

Thanks!
