IE String replace with QUOTES inside

[dinodod]

Here is a sample of what I am trying to do:

$sHTML = StringReplace($sHTML, """<img alt="Google" height=110 src="/intl/en_ALL/images/logo.gif" width=276>""", "")

As you can imagine, it's a very common practice to use " [ Quotes ] in HTML but I am trying to create a filter to remove certain lines of text from the page PRIOR to seeing it.

Since the text I will be replacing will contain any number of Quotes and other characters, I am at a loss as to how to actually proceed. Double quotes around the text doesn't work (Too easy).

I was thinking of perhaps converting the characters to their [ string equivilant (&Quo) ] ????? then replacing the text that matches then converting back?

Have you tried putting single quotes around them? ( ' " ' )

Single Quotes? LOL, OMG That would be too easy woudn't it? Um, single quotes around the entire string or each quote?

Let me see

Update:

"<img alt='"'Google'"' height=110 src='"'/intl/en_ALL/images/logo.gif'"' width=276>" <-- errors out

'<img alt="Google" height=110 src="/intl/en_ALL/images/logo.gif" width=276>' <-- Doesn't work

Funny, this shows that temp = <img alt="Google" but it stil doesn't match in $sHTML which is the _IEBodyReadHTML of Google.com!

$temp = '<img alt="Google"'
$result = StringInStr($sHTML, $temp)
MsgBox(0, "Search result: 0=Bad", $result & @CRLF & $temp)

Hi,

hmm, I do not get what you got, what to be replaced and what should the result look like?

In short, I am trying to search thru some HTML code for some strings, which includes " & ' characters. I can't use my command since those characters are breaking the syntax.

I need to be able to use my commands and somehow be able to ignore those special characters.

Here is a better example. As you can see this string is from Google's main page. I want to find this string and remove it from the HTML source. The problem is that the string has those nice quotes and dashes in it. How can I resolve this if it contains quotes and dashes?

$temp = "<img alt="Google" height=110 src="/intl/en_ALL/images/logo.gif" width=276>" 
MsgBox(0, "", $temp)

$temp = '<img alt="Google" height=110 src="/intl/en_ALL/images/logo.gif" width=276>'
MsgBox(0, "", $temp)

AFAIK, you encode quotes by doubling them up

I shall state "Hello there" he said

becomes

$vari="I shall state ""Hello there"" he said"

i'm having the same problem here. I've tried the other 2 solutions presented, they dont work. Anyone to save the day on this one?

CODE

$temp2 = """

$temp = StringLeft($temp, StringInStr($temp, " balance"))

$temp = StringRight($temp, StringLen($temp) - StringInStr($temp, "name="))

StringReplace($temp, $temp2, "")

I'm using the $temp2 variable because if i write directly StringReplace($temp, """, "") SciTe doesn't understand. I've tried things like "\"", doesn't work neither....

thanks.
