We have a custom set of custom control tags, eg:<ourTag:OurControl runat="server" />Throughout our project we have discovered Visual Studio's marvelous(sarcasm) helper which automatically pastes an ID with the tags name followed by a counter number. I am now trying to remove them globally.
View 1 RepliesWhat I'm interested in is a regular expression that will accept HTML input and remove all attributes inside the tag while leaving the tag intact. For example I want this...
<p class="test" id="TestParagraph">This is some test text right here.</p>
To become this...
<p>This is some test text right here.</p>
I have the following string:
<div id="mydiv">This is a "div" with quotation marks</div>
I want to use regular expressions to return the following:
<div id='mydiv'>This is a "div" with quotation marks</div>
Notice how the id attribute in the div is now surrounded by apostrophes?
How can I do this with a regular expression?
Edit: I'm not looking for a magic bullet to handle every edge case in every situation. We should all be weary of using regex to parse HTML but, in this particular case and for my particular need, regex IS the solution.
Edit #2: Jens Ameskamp helped to find a solution for me but anyone randomly coming to this page should think long and very hard about using this solution. In my case it works because I am very confident of the type of strings that I'll be dealing with. I know the dangers and the risks and make sure you do to. If you're not sure if you know then it probably indicates that you don't know and shouldn't use this method.
I am looking a regular expression that will remove all of the text except for the charachters that comes after the last "-" character. in this way I can get the ID for a URL.
[URL] so that after the regular expression will be exutes I will have "t43g2g" ID.
There may be an easier way, and if there is I'm all for it. However - my ASP.NET page has a TON of controls on it, and I've given them all ID's that start with underscore. I copied all the markup into Notepad++ and I'm trying to find a regular expression that will find everything but the controls and replace it with whitespace. that way I'll have a text file that has all my control names which I'll probably throw into Excel and do some string manipulation to add ".Text = " etc.

i have a textbox with a default text - 'Email *'

this thread is similar to mine [URL]
I'm wanting to remove all the special characters (leaving only numbers) in a phone textbox. Here is my current code:
Regex.Replace("(123)456-7890", "[\(\)\-\.+]", "");
I have this email, which I know is valid:
MyName@MyDomain.info
I am validating an input field with the default asp net email validator expression and it returns the email address as INVALID.
Here is my code:
<asp:RegularExpressionValidator
ID="RegularExpressionValidator1"
runat="server"
ValidationExpression="w+([-+.']w+)*@w+([-.]w+)*.w+([-.]w+)*"
ControlToValidate="Email"
runat="server"
ErrorMessage=" * "
/>
Is there a better regular expression pattern to validate an email address?
i have to check if an input string is valid based on the given regular expression.. this is the regular expression.
(a(bb+aaa+((ab)*bb+(aba)*aa)(a+b)*) + (b(aa+bbb+((ba)*aa+(bab)*bb)(a+b)*)
+ is an OR
* is a LOOP, it is optional, it may be done as many as a user wants.
i've tried many ways to solve the problem that my professor gave me but my knowledge isn't that enough to solve this problem..
I'm trying to use the validator to work on a email form to ensure that they enter a valid from email address. That part works. I also want to add to the expression the text that I pre-populate in the txtbox ("Enter your email address") so on postback, after sending the message, I can clear the fields and repopulate that box.
How do I add that wording to the current expression: w+([-+.']w+)*@w+([-.]w+)*.w+([-.]w+)*
I am using Regular Expression validator for a text box. The below is working fine.It is not performing validation when I enter values like 0000..001.How can I modify validation expression? But it would allow values like 100,...5000 i.e zeros after a number.
<asp:RegularExpressionValidator ID="reg2" runat="server" ControlToValidate="rng2"
ValidationExpression="^[0-9]+" ErrorMessage="*Please Enter a Valid Number for Second Range."
ForeColor="Red" Font-Bold="True"></asp:RegularExpressionValidator>
I need some help in regular expression.I am validating the textbox text when updating the records.When i click the update button,the first 5 letters should be equal to CM000 or cm000.How to validate this using regular expression in asp.net. does anyone know validationexpression for this.
View 1 RepliesI want regex operation for removing style tags,css,scripts and html tags from html to plain text in asp.net c#...
View 1 RepliesHow can I remove all html tags and script tags? consider also short tags like unclosed tags
<script>blah...</script>
<body> aaa<b>bbb</body>
This should return aaa bbb.
notice that all the contents inside the script tag is ignored.
I want a limited amount of html tags for the user to be able to put in my form and by looking at the posts, regular expressions seem to be the way forward. I don't want to use javascript or 3rd party as this is for an assignment at university.
The examples I have found seem to be set out differently than mine with using asp id identifiers whereas my code below is set out differently so I am unsure if I can use these examples.
I am building a forum and I want to be able to use simple square bracket tags to allow users to format text. I am currently accomplishing this by parsing the string and looking for the tags. It's very tedious, especially when I run into a tag like this [URL]. Having to parse the attribute, and the value, and make sure it has proper opening and closing tags is kind of a pain and seems silly. I know how powerful regular expressions are but I'm not good at them and they frustrate me to no end. I think an example would get me started. Just a regex for finding tags like [b]bolded text[/b] and tags with attributes like the link

I am using a regex to detect forum tags within posts, such as "[quote]text[/quote]" and then replace them with HTML formatting. I posted a question Forum tags. What is the best way to implement them? about a problem with nested tags.
I need this regex modified
string regex = @"[([^=]+)[=x22']*(S*?)['x22]*](.+?)[/(1)]";
Right now this matches an opening and closing tag, with match groups for the tag name, the tag content, and an optional value like the value after the equals in this forum tag [url=www.google.com]click me[/url].
What I need is for the expression to match the opening tag OR the closing tag and have a match group containing the tag name (including the '/' for the closing tag). I then want to iterate through them sort of like this:
Dictionary<string, int> tagCollection = new Dictionary<string, int>();
inputString = Regex.Replace(inputString, @"expression I'm asking for here",
match =>
{
[Code]....
So now, each tag is appended with a number and I could use the original regex to perform the tag functions and properly handle nested tags as separate tags.
