I want to remove everything between a tag. An example input may be
Input:
<body>
start
<div>
delete from below
<div class="XYZ">
first div having this class
<div>
waste
</div>
<div class="XYZ">
second div having this class
</div>
waste
</div>
delete till above
</div>
<div>
this will also remain
</div>
end
</body>
The output will be:
<body>
start
<div>
delete from below
delete till above
</div>
<div>
this will also remain
</div>
end
</body>
Basically, I have to remove the entire block for the first occurrence of <div class="XYZ">

You better iterate over all elements found. so you can be shure that
Example:
Document doc = ...
for( Element element : doc.select("div.XYZ") )
{
element.remove();
}
Edit:
( An addition to my comment )
Don't use exception handling when a simple null- / range check is enough here:
doc.select("div.XYZ").first().remove();
instead:
Elements divs = doc.select("div.XYZ");
if( !divs.isEmpty() )
{
/*
* Here it's safe to call 'first()' since there at least one element.
*/
}
Try this code :
String data = null;
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("e://XMLFile.xml"));
StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder();
while ((data = br.readLine()) != null) {
builder.append(data);
}
System.out.println(builder);
String replaceAll = builder.toString().replaceAll("<div class=\"XYZ\".+?</div>", "");
System.out.println(replaceAll);
I have read the input XML from a file and stored it in a StringBuilder object by reading it line by line, and then replaced the entire tag will empty string.

This may help you.
String selectTags="div,li,p,ul,ol,span,table,tr,td,address,em";
/*selecting some specific tags */
Elements webContentElements = parsedDoc.select(selectTags);
String removeTags = "img,a,form";
/*Removing some tags from selected elements*/
webContentElements.select(removeTags).remove();
