Search with wildcards

Alan Kilborn

I’d certainly give this a go as a first shot:

Find (?s)<table>.*?</table>
Replace wtf_knows
Search mode: Reg. expression

Hi @Meta-Chuh said:

<img(.?)youtube.com(.?)>

THANK YOU for your quick response Meta Chuh.

Your solution works for me for some cases, but for other cases it does not.

It does not work for the cases I have two images together. The first of the domain google.com and the second of the searched domain (in this case youtube.com)

Example :
<img src = "http: //www.google.com/imagenes/123.jpg ">
<img src = “http: //www.youtube.com/imagenes/456.jpg”>

I want to select only:
<img src = “http: //www.youtube.com/imagenes/456.jpg”>

But in practice, notepad selects :

I appreciate your support

From already thank you very much!!

However some of the images that I have are in the text like this:

and the above solution does not work.
Any other idea?

Best regards!!

@Diego-Sabah

find what: <img alt(.*?)("|"\r\n|"\n)(.*?)mysite.com(.*?)$
replace with: your_content

note: keep . matches newline disabled at the search mode settings, to avoid multi line matches.

best regards.
