Help for mass replacement.

[Владимир Антоников]

Hello.

I need help!

There is a design type:

<a href=“/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/2-2.jpg”><img src=“/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/2-2.jpg” alt=“Ergobag1111” width=“1000” height=“708” class=“aligncenter size-full wp-image-21814” /></a>

<a href=“/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/3-2.jpg”><img src=“/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/3-2.jpg” alt=“Ergobag2222” width=“1100” height=“652” class=“aligncenter size-full wp-image-21815” /></a>

<a href=“/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/4-2.jpg”><img src=“/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/4-2.jpg” alt=“Ergobag3333” width=“1200” height=“497” class=“aligncenter size-full wp-image-21816” /></a>

We need to redo it into the next view:

<a href=“/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/2-2.jpg” class=“item” style=“background-image: url(‘/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/2-2.jpg’)” data-alt=“Ergobag1111” ></a>

<a href=“/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/3-2.jpg” class=“item” style=“background-image: url(‘/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/3-2.jpg’)” data-alt=“Ergobag2222” ></a>

<a href=“/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/4-2.jpg” class=“item” style=“background-image: url(‘/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/4-2.jpg’)” data-alt=“Ergobag3333” ></a>

I tried to make it a team:

(“><img src=”)|(" width=“." height=".” class=“.* /></a>)|(” width=“." height=".” class=".* /></a>)

(?1" class=“item” style=“background-image: url(‘)(?2’)” data-alt=“)(?3” ></a>)

But it does not work correctly.

I want to do exactly that the replacement occurred as a team.

Please, help!

Hello, владимир-антониковn, and All,

Assuming that your XML text uses :

• Regular Simple quote ( ' ), of Unicode value \x{0027}, and not the characters ‘ and ’

• Regular Double quote ( " ), of Unicode value \x{0022}, and not the characters “ and ”

These changes of text can be easily done with regular expressions :-))

---

• Open the Replace dialog ( Ctrl + H )

• SEARCH ><img src="(.*?)"\x20(alt=".+?").+?\x20/(></a>)

• REPLACE \x20class="item"\x20style="background-image:\x20url\('\1'\)"\x20data-\2\x20\3

• Tick, preferably, the Wrap around option

• Select the Regular expression search mode

• Click, once on the Replace All button or several times on the Replace button

Et voilà !

If OK, I’ll give you some explanations on that regex S/R, next time

Best Regards
