title: How to edit 1st instance of text in multiple htm files using batch command?
body: <p>I need to remove the first instance of the &lt;P&gt; and &lt;/P&gt; tags in multiple .htm files, all in a single directory, using a batch command.  Any suggestions.</p>
  
  <p><b>Edit - I just realized that there may be multiple DIVs in the .htm files, and so I would need to remove only the 1st instance of the &lt;P&gt; and &lt;/P&gt; tags in each DIV (if any).  And to clarify, I only want the tags removed, but do want the content/text in between the tags to remain. Thanks for the answers/comments thus far!!!</b></p>
  
  <p>As for why, long story, but just know I work for an agency that has a contract with a vendor who did not test the version we paid for with IE11.  As a result, only the first paragraph tag, when more than one paragraph, is making all text display 15 pixels lower than expected. I cannot change or modify the vendor's code, however, I can modify it after the elearning course has been exported.  Which is what I need this batch file for. If I remove only the first instance of the paragraph tag on each page, then the entire text displays as expected.  </p>
