Hi, I am trying to replace a string in a txt-file with the app String Replace.

Incoming:
helloworld<mailto:name@domain.com></email>

Wanted result:
helloworld</email>

The email adress is variable, so what I would like to do is:
<mailto:*></email>=</email>
but that doesn't work with the String Replace app.

Any suggestions how to solve this?

ps.I don't have the scripting module, only the metadata module.

I have not tried but the documentation of the app says that the replace part can be a regular expression and the regex in this case should be: I have the impression you were thinking in terms of wildcards, but regular expressions are different. <mailto:* in your regex is interpreted as <mailto followed by a colon 0 or multiple times. In the above example the interpretation is <mailto: followed by any character 1 or multiple times.

Thanks Freddy, that solved it! I did try to solve my self with regular expression but didn't get it right. Thanks!
