XF 2.2 REGEX for template modifications

[Nicolas FR]

Hello,
In order to make template modifications more secure or universal I guess REGEXes are more suitable than simple replacements which can be disturbed by other modifications from different addons. Am I right ?

Unfortunately I totally discover this syntax and am quite unable to use it for example in 2 concrete cases that I currently encounter.

In PAGE_CONTAINER template i want to add code before this part

        <div class="p-footer-row">
            <xf:if contentcheck="true">
                <div class="p-footer-row-main">
                    <ul class="p-footer-linkList">

And add code after this part

                <xf:copyright />
                {{ phrase('extra_copyright') }}
            </xf:contentcheck>
            </div>
        </xf:if>

What REGEX replacement could I use?
Thanks for your help on this.

Find:

#(<div class="p-footer-row">.*extra_copyright.*?</xf:if>)#si

Replace:

stuff to insert
$1
more stuff to insert

Seems magic to me, it works like a charm...
I think I'll take a closer look at REGEX!

Thank you very much @digitalpoint
