For a project I'm working one I'm trying to figure out a way to tab indent new lines of code between certain tags (mainly <head> and <body>). Unfortunately I'm not as good at regular expressions as I thought I was and can't figure it out.
Anyone out there able to lend a hand?
Thanks,

Exactly when do you want what to happen?
If you have the following:
<head> bla bla </head>
<body> bla bla </body>
Then select it and use Text → Indent Selection (⌥⌘[]) then you get:
<head> bla bla </head>
<body> bla bla </body>
Is this the functionality you are after?

That's what I have been doing but I was wondering if there was a way to do it with the search and replace dialog using regular expressions to replace all the \n with \n\t to get that indent

So you want to re-indent your HTML solely by running a single regexp replace?
This is not possible -- why is that restraint necessary?

I'm going through multiple updates on a very large site. There is already a series of search and replaces that I'm doing on these files. In order to format the existing code a little better I was hoping I could just use another search and replace instead of selecting the code and using the indent command.
If there's no way to do it then it's no big deal, I was just curious.

Maybe use Tidy and a bash script

If your html head is relatively simple you may be able to do it with negative matches on your regexp.
For example, if you have:
<html> <head> <title> <meta ... > <style ...> </head> <body>
...
</body> </html>
You could replace all newlines that *don't* start with those 9 strings
I'm not sure I have the syntax right here, but something along these lines:
find: ^^[</{0,1}html>|</{0,1}head>|<title>|<meta|<style|</{0,1}body>] (.*) replace: \t$1
