Wildcard in notepad++

Im trying to use this tool to delete ever occurrence of

<title>Process.31</title>

from my SVG file, the text inside the tag varies though.
I tried

<title >.*</title>

bt no, is there a better way?

I suggest running your script, then doing a search for <title> to see what is left (assuming the text is always between the title tags). Then you could do another search/replace for each variation you find, then continue the search for title until all variations have been found and eliminated.

The thing with .* is that it is greedy, meaning it will try to match as much as possible.

For example if you have <title>foo</title><title>bar</title> the longest match will be foo</title><title>bar.

The opposite of greedy in regex is lazy, which you can obtain by adding a ? to your regex. So what you’d need is <title>.*?</title>.
