Regex needed

[cvrle77]

I have something in wordrpess posts (all of them) that I need removed:

something starting with this:

<!--more-->
<br />
<center>
<table width="100%">
<tbody>
<tr>

ending with this:

</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</center>

part in the middle is changeable, usually containing some other piece of code.

I need regex to remove ALL from start to end, including start and end.
Anyone?

PHP or .net ?

I was using this plugin for that, since it's wordpress I assume I need php?
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search-and-replace/

C#

string my_needed_data = Regex.Match(complete_post, @"<tbody>\r\n<tr>[\r\n]+(.+?)</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n</tbody>", RegexOptions.Singleline).Groups[1].Value;

PHP

if (preg_match('%<tbody>\r\n<tr>[\r\n]+(.+?)</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n</tbody>%s', $complete_post, $regs)) {
    $my_needed_data= $regs[1];

I need it to have included exact specified starting and ending points, because those are parts I want removed too.

It's a piece of code showing under each post, like advertisement. (done in a quite dumb way)

Basically, I would need only this: "<tbody>\r\n<tr>[\r\n]+(.+?)</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n</tbody>"
Like in notepad++

:/ seems we misunderstood each other. I need a regex code, that I will apply on my live website, and remove same text repeating in about 60000 posts.

I have a WP plugin that will do that for me.

So far: "<!--more-->\r\n<br\s/>\r\n<center>\r\n<table" this is good, but I need everything that shows after this point, to be found and matched, not sure which symbol is for that? (*) ??

For some reason, this won't remove everything to the bottom of the post, no idea why:

<!--more-->\r\n<br\s/>\r\n<center>\r\n<table+(.*)

 

[AppDeveloper]

if (preg_match('%<tbody>\r\n<tr>[\r\n]+(.+?)</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n</tbody>%s', $complete_post, $regs)) {
    $my_needed_data= $regs[1]; // this is what u need then!
}

$regs[1] represent the 1st group match!

This is how it looks in wordpress...
this particular one I have, stops on first page break, and doesn't capture EVERYTHING from that point, to the bottom of the post. (which is what I need)

 

[AppDeveloper]

Search Pattern = <tbody>\r\n<tr>[\r\n]+(.+?)</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n</tbody>
Replace pattern : $1
multi-line : unchecked

 

[cvrle77]

Search pattern needs to start with <!--more-->\r\n<br\s/>\r\n blabla something to match EVERYTHING till the end of the post....

sorry for being so difficult

 

[AppDeveloper]

Try this

<!--more-->\r\n<br />\r\n<center>\r\n<table width="100%">\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr>(.+?)</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n</tbody>\r\n</table>\r\n</center>

Thanks for leading me on right track, this is the code that I got, and works what I needed it for:

"<!--more-->\r\n<br\s/>\r\n<center>\r\n<table+[\s\S]*"
