fraizor Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 (edited) I was wondering if there is something similar to _StringBetween but where i can define some rules to match I need to match for for the word "Style" in the html text only without the Tags... (the word "style" in black font) This is the original code it searches the whole text (including tags) if StringInStr($DescFile[$i], "Style") then $DescFile[$i] = StringReplace($DescFile[$i],"Style",$DictFile[$n][1]) Endif I tried the following to limit it to search only in the HTML text (without tags) but it did not work (as it always found <> for the word "style") if StringInStr($DescFile[$i], _StringBetween("Style", ">", "<")) then Any ideas ? Note: I know that Regex can solve the problem, but i cant use as this line of code is part from a bigger nested loop , the return value must be a string not an array (StringRegExp returns an array) Edited July 20, 2023 by fraizor AutoFox, A Modern, Simple, No dependency, Noob friendly yet powerful Firefox UDF !

I'm not quite clear yet what exactly you want to replace with what (probably due to the heat that is currently boiling my brain ). Could you describe your goal a bit more precisely. Also, please post the HTML snippet as text (e.g. as code < >), not as a picture. That way others could test the process without having to type the data from the image.

Solution TheXman Posted July 20, 2023 Solution Share Posted July 20, 2023 (edited) 4 hours ago, fraizor said: what is StringFormat Basically, it is a function that allows you to reformat a string based on a given pattern. I used it because, at least for me, it is much easier to read and maintain than writing: "(>.*?)\Q" & $sSearchText & "\E([^=][^<]*)" Using StringFormat for simple strings (like the one above) may be a little overkill, but for more complex strings it makes building the string much easier. I could have used it for the replacement text also but I did it using regular concatenation. 4 hours ago, fraizor said: also the regex does not sems the match If you want to test the regular expressions on regex101.com, then you need to do the string replacement that the script is doing. So for "Style", the pattern would be: "(>.*?)\QStyle\E([^=][^<]*)" See here: https://regex101.com/r/pvrWi1/1 Edited July 20, 2023 by TheXman Added \Q...\E to the regular expression.

OJBakker Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Try if search replace with case sensitivity is enough to filter the Style. if StringInStr($DescFile[$i], "Style", $STR_CASESENSE) then $DescFile[$i] = StringReplace($DescFile[$i],"Style",$DictFile[$n][1], 0, $STR_CASESENSE) Endif An other probably more reliable approach is to search those Style NOT followed by an = character. In pseudo-code replace "style=" by placeholder replace remaining "Style" by your replacement replace placeholder by "style=" fraizor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheXman Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 (edited) I made it case-sensitive for a reason. If it is not case-sensitive, you may change the case of words you did not mean to change. If it is case-sensitive, then the replacement string can be made to match the case of the search string. In any case, your modification to make it case-insensitive works for me. https://regex101.com/r/AJYOL8/1 Edited July 23, 2023 by TheXman CryptoNG UDF: Cryptography API: Next Gen jq UDF: Powerful and Flexible JSON Processor | jqPlayground: An Interactive JSON Processor Xml2Json UDF: Transform XML to JSON | HttpApi UDF: HTTP Server API | Roku Remote: Example Script About Me How To Ask Good Questions On Technical And Scientific Forums (Detailed) | How to Ask Good Technical Questions (Brief) "Any fool can know.

mikell Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 May I add, don't double the backslash before Q and E . If you do this, you match the literals "\Q" and "\E" Examples below $s = "ab*cd" $res = StringRegExpReplace($s, '\\Qb*c\\E', "12") ; doesn't work Msgbox(0,"", $res) $res = StringRegExpReplace($s, '\Qb*c\E', "12") Msgbox(0,"", $res) $s = "a\Qbc\Ed" $res = StringRegExpReplace($s, '\\Qbc\\E', "12") ; doesn't work Msgbox(0,"", $res) $res = StringRegExpReplace($s, '\Qbc\E', "12") Msgbox(0,"", $res) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
