Remove/strip specific Html tag and replace using NotePad++

Question

Here is my text:

<h3>#6</h2>
Is he eating a lemon?

</div>

I have a few of them in my articles the #number is always different also the text is always different.

I want to make this out of it:

<h3>#6 Is he eating a lemon?</h3>

I tried it via regex in notepad++ but I am still very new to this:

My Search:

<h3>.*?</h2>\r\n.*?\r\n\r\n</div>

Also see here.

Now it is always selecting the the right part of the text.

How does my replace command need to look like now to get an output like above?

your regex pattern right now is doubled. Is that a typo?

You should modify your original regex to capture the text you want in groups, like this:

<h3>(.*?)</h2>\r\n(.*?)\r\n\r\n</div>
    (   )         (   ) 
//  ^             ^     These are your capture groups

You can then access these groups with the \1 and \2 tokens respectively.

So your replace pattern would look like:

<h3>\1 \2</h3>

Your search could be <h3>(.*)<\/h2>\r\n(.*)\r\n\r\n<\/div> and the replace is <h3>$1 $2</h3>, where $1 and $2 represent the strings captured in the parentheses.
