A:
Regex.Replace(html, @"(?<=<(/)?)th(?=[\s>])", "tr", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase);

+1. Beat me to it. You'll also need to replace the closing tags: Regex.Replace(strHTML, @"</th(?=[\s>])", "</tr", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase);

@Diadistis,Will it replace all the `th` tags anywhere there is `tr` tag in the html file whether there is attributes or anything ?

new Regex("(<(?:/){0,1})(th)( |>)", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase | RegexOptions.MultipleLine).Replace(html, m => m.Group[1].Value + "tr" + m.Group[3].Value);Not tested...

@Diadistis,Sorry my mistake but I want to replace `tr` tag instead of `th` tag.

@Harikrishna: just swap them : Regex.Replace(html, @"(?<=<(/)?)tr(?=[\s>])", "th", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase);

Could be shortened: `@"(?<=<(/)?)tr\b"`; also I don't know if whitespace might occur between `<`, `/` and `tr` - if so, `@"(?<=<\s*(/)?\s*)tr\b"` might be safer.

@Diadistis,Will it just replace `tr` OR `<tr>` means with `<` and `>` ?

@Harikrishna: it will replace `tr` when found in `<tr` or `</tr`
