I have a string as below:-
<option id="ps_account_type_opt_1" value="1" selected="">[ Active Directory ]</option>\n<option id="ps_account_type_opt_2" value="2">Local</option>
I was trying to get "value" from the above string using a generic regular expression similar to below one.
VARIABLE = [ Active Directory ]
or
VARIABLE = Local
or
VARIABLE = Active Directory
<option(.*)value="(\d+)"(.*)>VARIABLE</option>
The problem is i need to change my VARIABLE from [ Active Directory ] to \\[ Active Directory \\]. What should i change in regular expression so that "[" and "]" becomes optional.
Try this...
<option[^>]+>\[?(?<VARIABLE>.+?)\]?<\/option>

Put a ?
after each character or group that you require to be optional.
Example: abc?
will match both abc
and ab
, because the c?
is optional.
