查找一些字符串并使用notepad ++正则表达式替换另一个字符串

Question

In several Php Web Pages , I'd like to add some extra html code to an existing (and pre-existent) html code . For example I have:

<a class="fix" name="P169336">&nbsp;</a>

I'd like to use this example to replace another html code which is located in other place of the same Web Page . For example I have:

class="hyperlink">Alessandro Marinuzzi</a></td></tr>

So using the first (example) add to the second (example) as below:

class="hyperlink">Alessandro Marinuzzi</a><br /><br /><div class="srtgs" id="rt_169336"></div></td></tr>

Where rt_169336 is get from:

<a class="fix" name="P169336">&nbsp;</a>

Every Web Page has a own:

<a class="fix" name="PXXXXXX">&nbsp;</a>

You can find...

<a class="fix" name="P169336">&nbsp;</a>

or

<a class="fix" name="P167223">&nbsp;</a>

or another other number that changes for every Web Page ...

I'd like to do this replacement using the ability of notepad++ regular expressions . Any help is appreciated.

Answer 1

Search for

(<A CLASS="fix" NAME="P)(\d+)(">&nbsp;</A>)(.*?)(Marinuzzi</A>)(</TD></TR>)

where

• (<A CLASS="fix" NAME="P) Group 1, data before the number
• (\\d+) Group 2, the number
• (">&nbsp;</A>) Group 3, data after the number
• (.*?) Group 4, data between search and replace sections
• (Marinuzzi</A>) Group 5, data before replace
• (</TD></TR>) Group 6, data after replace

And replace with

\1\2\3\4\5<BR><BR><DIV CLASS="srtgs" ID="rt_\2"></DIV>\6

where

• \\1\\2\\3\\4\\5 Reinsert groups 1-5
• <BR><BR><DIV CLASS="srtgs" ID="rt_\\2"></DIV> insert new content with group 2
• \\6 Reinsert group 6

Search mode must be Regular expression with . matches newline . matches newline enabled.

Note that this code assumes that search element is BEFORE the target element.
