title: Regular Expression Replace on Notepad++
body: <p>I need a regular expression to replace the value in XML tags. I need to find * and replace it with XXXXX. I made an attempt to do this but its giving me "invalid regex".</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;TAG&gt;\('(.*?'\)&lt;/TAG&gt;
  // replace with:
  &lt;TAG&gt;XXXXX&lt;/TAG&gt;
  </code></pre>
