As I said in the post, I'm just a regex padawan.
It all started in this thread:
stack overflow
The question was to find: <br />tags inside<pre></pre>
I made this template: .*?<pre>.*\s?((<br\s*?\/?>\s?).*?){1,}<\/pre>
I answered the question.
Everything was in order, as the question arose:
SUB-Question: How to find ANYWHERE <br />inside a tag <pre>?
I translated this into: How to find multiple instances of a word with a condition
Explanation of my regex:
.*? - Unwanted quantifier: any number of characters<pre> - Following the tag.*\s? - any number of any char + possible whitespace(<br\s*?\/?>\s?) - Follow the tag we are looking for + possible whitespace((<br \/>\s?).*?){1,} ( <br /> + char + char) 1 .
{1,} *? ( {1,} ) - .

P.S.: (<br\s*?\/?>) <br /> tags gm.
