Tricky problem: change the tag name based on its attribute and value

Tricky problem (I think):
I want to change the tag with a specific attribute and value: <div class="THD"> to <h1 class="THD">.
The closing <\div> tag belonging to the respective tag also needs to change.

Does anyone know about a tool that can help me do that (without much manual editing).

I have a large html document structured like this (simplified):

Code:

---

<div class="MAIN" id="B01-C1">
<div class="CHSO">
<div class="THD">
<div class="HNUM">Chapter 11</div>
<div class="HD">Freedom</div>
</div>
</div>
<a name="PG72"> </a><div class="page"><div>P.53</div></div><br clear="all">
<div class="TBD">
<div class="TLV1" id="B0142943">
<div class="HD">OVERVIEW/div>
<div class="P">Aung San Suu Kyi, the Burmese democracy leader, called for a “non-violent revolution” today as she began the task of re-establishing herself as the leader of a political party after seven years of house arrest.</div>
</div>

DreamWeaver and NotePad++ (plus most regular word processors) have a text editing feature called "Find and Replace"... would run thru the page pretty quick.

That won't work because if you replace all the <\div> tags the syntax will no longer be right.

I have tried using regular expression, but found no text editor that supports variables in the output.

Dreamweaver's Find and Replace does let you get specific enough to do this. You can say "Find specific tag <div> with class "THD", replace tag with <h1>"

You made my day :lovers:

On a large document Dreamweaver search replace for tags is slow, do you know of any alternative program? Checked out Notepad++, but it does not seem to have the search and replace tags function.

Is it slower than posting a question here and waiting for us to get back to you?

Dreamweaver is what I use, maybe someone else will chime in for you.

Use dreamweaver for Find and Replace does let you get specific enough to do this.
