Variable text within a regular expression

Post by dyeager »

We're comparing XML data and for some of the dynamic data I would like to use a regular expression to ignore those parts of the line. I've been able to use <OpenDt>.......................</OpenDt>, but the data in this element will be of varying length. I've tried <OpenDt>*</OpenDt>, but that doesn't seem to work. Any suggestions?
