I want to remove nested macros from data center using regex

[Aditya Jha]

Hi,

I have got more then 3000 pages of different macros, what i need to know is how we can delete the nested macros from pages making its content as it is, we only want to remove tags from it .

currently we are using either this 

pattern = fr'<ac:structured-macro\s+ac:name="{macro_name}"[^>]*>(.*?)</ac:structured-macro>|{macro_name}_\w*'

or 

this pattern

pattern = fr'<ac:structured-macro\s+ac:name="{macro_name}"[^>]*>(.*?)</ac:structured-macro>|{macro_name}_\w*' 2 updated_content = re.sub(pattern, r'\1', current_content, flags=re.DOTALL)

but for few pages this is getting helpful but not for all pages, is there any specific regex which will work if the macros are in nested format

can you please help with the nested macro removal using regex irrespective of what format they ?
