<![CDATA[Regex: Replace tag with another tag from text]]>hello and happy new year. Maybe you can help me. I need to replace a tag with another tag.

<p><span class="my_home">My text here.</span></p>

should become:

<p class="my_home">My text here.</p>

Can anyone help me?

ut in my case, it must be replace only that particular tag

Hello, for that case you may try with:

  • FIND = (?s)<p><span (.*?class="my_home".*?)>(.*?)</span></p>
  • REPLACE = <p $1>$2</p>
  • MODE = regular expression

(?s)<p><span (.?class=".?".?)>(.?)</span></p>

yes, is good your solution. Thank you.

But in my case, it must be replace only that particular tag <span class="my_home"> :) How can be done ?

Thank you before and after. I have expanded the example mildly:

<p><span class="my_home">My text here.</span></p>
<p><span class="other_class">Other text
there.</span></p>
<p>No span here</p>
<p><abbr title="Hope This Helps">HTH</abbr></p>
  • FIND = (?s)<p><span (.*?class=".*?".*?)>(.*?)</span></p>
  • REPLACE = <p $1>$2</p>
  • MODE = regular expression
<p class="my_home">My text here.</p>
<p class="other_class">Other text
there.</p>
<p>No span here</p>
<p><abbr title="Hope This Helps">HTH</abbr></p>

So my solution will change any class of <p><span class="...">...</span></p>, but other similar constructs (without a span) will not change. I made sure it would work even for multi-line paragraphs (again, not in your spec, but that’s a reasonable assumption in HTML paragraphs).
