RegEx - Capturing multiple times

I am currently trying to convert an HTML-table like the following:

<table>
    <tr>
        <td>
            Some Text
        </td>
        <td>
            <img src="..." ...>
        </td>
    </tr>
    ...
</table>

Into an HTML-list like that:

<ul>
    <li>
        <div>
            <p> Some Text </p>
        </div>
        <img src="..." ...>
    </li>
    ...
</ul>

Since I need to do this in several files (100+) I would like to accomplish it using a regular expression. However, while I am able to catch the parts I am interessted in, it only seems to capture the last occurence of the capture groups.

Is there a way to get all captured parts back?

Here is my current progress:

<table>(?>\s*?<tr>\s*?<td>(.*?)<\/td>\s*?<td>.*?(<img[^>]*>).*?<\/td>.*?<\/tr>)+\s*?<\/table>

(If you are interrested, here is a link for fiddling around: https://regex101.com/r/hQ8pF1/2 )

My editor of choice is Sublime Text (using PCRE engine AFAIK), but I am willing to use anything to approach this task.

Try using the TextCrawler tool (windows only AFAIK). It supports the regex search-and-replace for multiple files. Matching multiple occurences should be no problem.

And have you tried to match without the "table" around? like this https://regex101.com/r/hQ8pF1/3

\s*?<tr>\s*?<td>(.*?)<\/td>\s*?<td>.*?(<img[^>]*>).*?<\/td>.*?<\/tr> w/ sig for options should do it.

Sample.
