Hi all,

given a string:

" <img class='myclass' alt='my picture' src='image.jpg' /> "

(where alt and src are changeable)

how do I create the following string:

" <div class='container'>
<div class='inner'>
<img class='myclass' alt='my picture' src='image.jpg' />
<p>my picture</p>
</div>
</div> "

(where the contents of <p></p> are the same as the image 'alt') ?




I believe a regular expression would solve this but I'm not sure on the
syntax.

something like:

regex.replace("<img class='myclass' alt='$1' src='$2' />","<div
class='container'><div class='inner'><img class='myclass' alt='$1'
src='$2' /><p>$1</p></div></div>")


Any ideas? Thanks!

as I mentioned in .javascript .. this is a post relevant to the groups I
have posted to since many people don't read both groups.

Answers in other groups will be placed here.

cheers.

I must be an irregular kind of guy, as I have never gotten into regular
expressions. Here's how I would solve this one:

input = "<img class='myclass' alt='my picture' src='image.jpg' />"
alt = split(split(input,"alt='")(1),"'")(0)
output = "<div class='container'>" _
& vbnewline & "<div class='inner'>" _
& vbnewline & input _
& vbnewline & "<p>" & alt & "</p>" & suffix
& vbnewline & "</div" _
& vbnewline & "</div"

Already shown in the other group,
and this shows you are wrong not to heed Netiquette.

Evertjan's comment is still valid. When you have a thread that has relevence
to a small number of groups, the best way to handle it is to CROSSPOST
rather than MULTIPOST. That way a reply in one group will be sent to all
groups without you having to, redundantly and manually copy from one group
to the other to try to keep them in synch.

FYI, the reason that many of us find multiposting frustrating is that we
often see one of the posts with no responses, and then spend a fair amount
of time supplying an answer - only to find out that was a waste of time
because someone already supplied the answer in another group.

I managed to get an answer to this.. thanks for the input though

regex.replace(
@"\<img\sclass\='myclass'\salt\='(.*?)'\ssrc\='(.*?)'\s\/\>",
@"<div class='container'><div class='inner'><img class='myclass'
alt='$1' src='$2' /><p>$1</p></div></div>");

ah ok, I was under the impression that the replies went to only one of
the groups .. which would seem counter to good "netiquette" as Evertjan
likes to harp on about.

Cheers for the constructive response

Ever heard of the word "sorry" if you make a mistake?
