Sublime Text regex to find and replace whitespace between two xml or html tags?

Solution 1
This will find instances of
<tags>...</tags>
with whitespace between the tags
(<tags>\S+)\W(.+</tags>)
This will replace the first whitespace with a comma
\1,\2
Open Find and Replace [OS X Cmd+Opt+F :: Windows Ctrl+H]
Use the two values above to find and replace and use the 'Replace All' option. Repeat until all the whitespaces are converted to commas.
The best answer is probably a quick script but this will get you there fairly fast without needing to do any coding.
Solution 2
You have just to use a simple regex like:
\s+
And replace it with with a comma.

I'm using Sublime Text and I need to come up with a regex that will find the whitespaces between a certain opening and closing tag and replace them with commas.
Example: Replace white space in
<tags>This is an example</tags>
so it becomes
<tags>This,is,an,example</tags>
Thanks!
