That’s a brilliant tip and the example video.. Never considered doing this for some reason — makes so much sense though.
So often content is provided with pseudo HTML often created by MS Word.. nice to have a way to remove the same spammy tags it always generates.
Good tip on the multiple search and replace, but in a case like this, it’s kinda overkill… instead of replacing <p> and </p> you could also just replace </?p>.
You could even expand that to get all p tags, even with attributes, using </?p[^>]*>.
Yeah, I could totally see a command like remove cruft doing a bunch of these little replaces. RegEx could absolutely do it, but it would get a bit unwieldy.
There is a cool plugin for Sublime Text https://github.com/titoBouzout/Tag that can strip tags or attributes from file. Saved me a lot of time on multiple occasions. Can’t recommend it enough. Especially if you don’t want to mess with regular expressions.

Cool! Regex to the rescue.
My main use-case has about 15 find-replaces for all kinds of various stuff, so it might be a little outside the scope of a single regex.

I’m curious about that too!
Looks like he’s using the same one I am: Material Theme

Thanks Joe!
Question, in your code, I understand the need for ‘find’, ‘replace’ and ‘case’. What does greedy do? Is that a designation to do all?
What is the theme used in the first image (package install) and last image (run new command)?
There is a small error in your JSON code example.
A closing bracket at the end of the code is missing.
