I have a big html file (87000+ lines) and want to delete all occurrences of onclick from all elements. Two examples of what I want to catch are:
1. onclick="fnSelectNode('name2',2, true);"
2. onclick="fnExpandNode('img3','node3','/include/format_DB.asp?Index2=3');"
The problem is that both function names and parameters passed to them are not the same. So I need a Regular expression that matches onclick= + anything + );"
And I need one that works in Notepad++
Thanks for helping ;-)
Not familiar with notepad++, but what I use in vim is:
onclick="[^"]+"
Of course this depends on there being double quotes around the onclick in every case...
This regular expression will fail if you have a " or ' character included within quotes escaped by a \. Other than that, this should do it.
(onclick="[^"]+")|(onclick='[^"]+')
onclick="[^"]+" works for me, for that 2 strings.
If you want to go with a regex:
/onclick=".*?"/
You could also use something which is DOM-aware, such as a HTML/XML parser, or even just load up jQuery:
$("[onclick]").removeAttr("onclick");
... and then copy the body HTML into a new file.
Could
onclick=\".+;\"
Work?
onclick=\".*\);\"
This regex should do the trick.
(\s+onclick=(?:"[^"]+")|(?:'[^']+'))
Open your file on dreamweaver, choose edit from the toolbar, select find and replace,
put onclick="[^"]+" in find field and keep replace blank
this will do the whole thing.
Enjoy

I need to write a regular expression to catch the following things in bold
class="something_A211"
style="width:380px;margin-top: 20px;"
I have no idea how to write it, can someone help me?
I need this because, in html file i have to replace (whit notepad++) with empty, so i want to have a clear < tr > or < td > or anything else.
Thank you
You can use a regex like this to capture the content:
((?:class|style)=".*?")
Working demo
However, if you just want to match and delete that you can get rid of capturing groups:
(?:class|style)=".*?"
For all constructions like something="data", you can use this.
[^\s]*?\=\".*?\"

The link shows you what everything does.
To explain it briefly, a non space character can come before the "=" any mumber of times, then comes the quotes and info inside of them.
The question mark in .*? (and character any number of times) is needed so only the minimum amount of characters will be used (instead of looking for the next possible quotes somewhere further along)
I would like to replace opening and closing tag, leaving the content of tags and its attribute intact.
Here is what I have:
<div class="QText">Text to be kept</div>
to be replaced with
<span class="QText">Text to be kept</span>
I tried this expression which finds all expressions I want but there seems to be no way to replace found expressions.
<div class="QText">(.*?)</div>
Thanks in advance.
I think #AmitJoki's answer will work well enough in certain circumstances, but if you only want to replace div elements when they have an attribute or a specific set of attributes, then you would want to use a regex replacement with backreferences - how you specify and refer to a backreference, unfortunately, depends upon your chosen editor. Visual Studio has the most unique and annoying "flavor" of regex I know of, while Dreamweaver has a fairly typical implementation (both as well as I imagine whatever editor you're using do regex replacement - you just have to know the menu item or keystroke to bring up the dialog).
If memory serves, Dreamweaver has replacement options when you hit Ctrl+F, while you have to hit Ctrl+H, so try those.
Once you get a "Find" and "Replace" box, you would put something like what you have in your last example above: <div class="QText">(.*?)</div> or perhaps <div class="(QText|RText|SText)">(.*?)</div> into your "Find" box, then put something like <span class="QText">\1</span> or <span class="\1">\2</span> in the "Replacement" box. A few utilities might use $1 to refer to a backreference rather than \1, but you'll have to lookup help or experiment to be sure.
If you are using a language to run this expression, you need to tell us which language.
If you are using a specific editor to run this expression, you need to tell us which editor.
...and never forget the prevailing wisdom on regex and HTML
Just replace div.
var s="<div class='QText'>Text to be kept</div>";
alert(s.replace(/div/g,"span"));

If its going to be literal like that, capture what's to be kept, then replace the rest,
Find: <div( class="QText">.*?</)div>
Replace: <span$1span>
I want to replace <whatever>Some Title</whatever> with <something>Some Title</something> using the Find and Replace tool inside of Dreamweaver. How do I perform?
Not a Dreamweaver user, but this simple approach works in my editor (Emacs):
Replace:
<whatever>\(.*\)</whatever>
With:
<something>\1</something>
This is a pretty straightforward approach but it may fall short of your needs. Do some or all of your <whatever> element pairs occupy more than one line of text? Or do you have more than one <whatever> pair on a single line?
i guess what you want is to change all your <whatever> tag with an <something> tag whitout changing your text, right?
If it is so, you want to use find and replace with regular expression. Find (in source code) <whatever>(.*)</whatever> and replace it with <something>$1</something>. The $1 is used as a variable for anything fits the (.*) part DW finds for each instance.
For example, you you want to comment all instances of an
document.NAMEOFANYFORMONTHEPAGE.WHATEVERNAME.focus();
in a JavaScript file, you would use find:
document\.(.*)\.focus\(\);
and replace it with:
// document.$1.focus();
Don't forget to escape special characters and, please, try a few instances before using Replace All
With Selenium IDE, how can I test if an element's inner text contains a specific string? For example:
<p id="fred">abcde</p>
'id=fred' contains "bcd" = true)
The Selenium-IDE documentation is helpful in this situation.
The command you are looking for is assertText, the locator would be id=fred and the text for example *bcd*.
It can be done with a simple wildcard:
verifyText
id="fred"
*bcd*
See selenium IDE Doc
You can also use:
assertElementPresent
css=p#fred:contains('bcd')
A solution with XPath:
Command: verify element present
Target: xpath=//div[#id='fred' and contains(.,'bcd')]
Are you able to use jQuery if so try something like
$("p#fred:contains('bcd')").css("text-decoration", "underline");
It seems regular expressions might work:
"The simplest character set is a character. The regular expression "the" contains three
character sets: "t," "h" and "e". It will match any line with the string "the" inside it.
This would also match the word "other". "
(From site: http://www.grymoire.com/Unix/Regular.html)
If you are using visual studio there is functionality for evaluating strings with regular expressions of ALL kinds (not just contains):
using System.Text.RegularExpressions;
Regex.IsMatch("YourInnerText", #"^[a-zA-Z]+$");
The expression I posted will check if the string contains ONLY letters.
Your regular expression would then according to my link be "bcd" or some string you construct at runtime. Or:
Regex.IsMatch("YourInnerText", #"bcd");
(Something like that anyway)
Hope it helped.
You can use the command assertTextPresent or verifyText
I want a page break inside the title attribute of a link, but when I put one in, it appears correct in a browser, but returns 7 errors when I validate it.
This is the code.
<a href="images/Bosses/Lord Yarkan Large.jpg" class="hastipz" target="_blank" title="Lord Yarkan, a level 80 Unique from Silkroad Online -- Click for a Larger Image">
<img class="bosspic" src="images/Bosses/Lord Yarkan.jpg" style="float:right; position:relative;" alt="Lord Yarkon; Silkroad Unique"/>
</a>
The reason is because the title attribute appears in a tooltip, and I need a page break inside that tooltip. How can I add a page break inside the quotes without returning errors?
I found this forum post:
There are two approaches:
1) Use the character entity for a carriage return, which is
Thus:
<...title="Exemplary
website">
(For a full list of character entities, try Googling "HTML Character Codes".)
2) to do any additional styling to your "tooltips", Google "CSS tooltips"
1) is Non-standard though. Works on IE/Chrome, not with Firefox. The new spec appears to recommend
(newline) instead.
Do you need to validate for work?
If not, do not worry about the errors if it works as you want it.
Validation is not the goal. It is a tool to help build better Web sites. which is the goal. ;-)
If you must have it validate, you could try to use some script to switch out a specific keyword / set of characters for a <br /> at dom ready. Although this is untested and I am not sure it wouldn't throw errors, too.
EDIT
As requested, a little jQuery to switch out a word:
$('a').each(function(){
var a = $(this).attr('title');
var b = a.replace('lineBreak','\n');
$(this).attr('title', b);
});
Example: http://jsfiddle.net/jasongennaro/qRQaq/1/
Nb:
I used "lineBreak" as the keyword, as this is unlikely to be matched. "br" might be
I replaced it with the \n line break character.
You should try the \n line break character on its own... might work without needing to replace anything.
