macro search between <section>fixed & changing characters</section>
-
How can I search for a string that is changing in certain area’s and is different for different pages.
You see two strings below that changes when I publish my site through the software builder.
This string contains the domain name of the builder and although I understand why they do it, for SEO it is just very bad practice.
Currently, I have created a macro that adds “rel = nofollow” between <a & href="https://domain.name>However, I rather get rid of this link at all therefore I am looking to build a macro that
a) search on the part that never change which is "<section class=“engine”><a href=“https://domain.name”
b) remove everything between <section class=“engine”> and the closing </section>When I publish 5 pages then each page has a different line where the character behind the domain name is changing (or no character at all) and the anchor text is changing.
<section class=“engine”><a href=“https://domain.name/n”>simple site templates</a></section>
<section class=“engine”><a href=“https://domain.name/g”>build a site</a></section>If not possible with Notepadd++ maybe there is an editor that can do it.

I assume you can build a regex which would look like that
find with:(?s)(<section class="engine">)<a href="https\:\/\/domain\.name.*?(</section>)
replace with:\1\2Is this doing what you want to achieve?

@Ekopalypse many thanks, that indeed works and it basically removes it. saves a lot of time
