Hmmm. Really not sure how you could get that result, reference:

Even though you didn’t have luck with mine, here’s how I’d change mine to exclude matching fr :

(?-i)lang="(?!fr)[[:alpha:]]{2}"

perhaps firt time i forget the last quote, that why it was not correct

Try this instead:

(?-i)(?<=\x20lang=")(?!fr)\l{2}(?=">)

Take care and have fun!

Hi, @pouemes44, @alan-kilborn, @astrosofista and All,

Alan, Hum…, interesting ! I assume, since my last post, that @pouemes44 was talking about the HTML lang attribute. So, I dug out a bit on Net !

And, from these links :

We can deduce that :

Language codes have always 2 or 3 lowercase characters ( Refer ISO 639-2 from Wikipedia )
Country codes have always 2 uppercase characters, ( Refer ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code list, from Wikipedia )
A Language code stands by itself OR may be followed with a dash - and a country code OR a script code ( Refer ISO Language Code Table )
Generally, Language tags are lowercase, alphabetic region subtags are uppercase, and script tags begin with an initial capital ( Refer https://www.w3.org/International/articles/language-tags/#rfc )

So from the main list, below ( Refer http://www.lingoes.net/en/translator/langcode.htm ), with 241 items :

This new regex version matches all the possible language codes :

SEARCH / MARK (?-i)(?<=\x20lang=")(?:zh\-Han(s|t)|\l{2,3}(-\u{2})?)(?=">?)

Now, in order to omit the two "fr" and "fr-FR" languages, only, prefer the regex, below :

SEARCH / MARK (?-i)(?<=\x20lang=")(?:zh\-Han(s|t)|(?!fr(-FR)?">?)\l{2,3}(-\u{2})?)(?=">?)

You may test these two regexes against the list above !

Best Regards,

thanks to all
yes i am trying to find in my pages the iso with two letters which refer generally to ISO 693-1

because i think i havesome mistakes

example lingala
ISO 639-1 ln
ISO 639-2 lin
ISO 639-3 lin
IETF ln

not easy to know which language code

http://www.language-archives.org/language/lin
and
https://www.ethnologue.com/language/lin

use ISO 693-3

@guy038

Well… You can read into a poster’s request as much as you want, and go off and research a poster’s problem, again, as much as you want. :-)
I’m sure there might be some interesting “finds” along such a journey.

I don’t mind helping with regex requests (except from the “takers”), but I’m sticking to what is asked for, and I’m not going to infer a bunch of stuff. My goal is “get them on their way” quickly. Just my take on it.

Also, if we solve the problem they ask for, and it isn’t the problem they have, perhaps they learn to be better askers?

But, I didn’t exactly solve the problem that was asked for: “find all lines…”. Really then the hit should have consisted of a full line, right? Well, we have some wiggle room here, as a “Find All…” search provides the whole line data requested.

guy038

Hi, @pouemes44, @alan-kilborn, @astrosofista and All,

@pouemes44, the last regex, of my previous post, finds any language code, of 2 or 3 lowercase letters, optionnally followed with a dash and a country code of two uppercase letters, different from, either, "fr" and "fr-FR" OR finds the specific zh-Hans and zh-Hant Chinese syntaxes

Now, if we assume, as a matter of principle, that the language codes are all correct, in your files, the search of these language codes are more simple ! Indeed, as no control about syntax is needed, this regex, below, should be enough ( The two language codes "fr" and "fr-FR" are not taken in account ! )

SEARCH / MARK (?-is)(?<=\x20lang=")(?!fr"|fr-FR").+?(?=">?)

And, as @alan-kilborn said, if you prefer to highlight the entire lines, with their EOL chars, containing a language code, use that regex :

MARK (?-is)^.*\x20lang="(?!fr"|fr-FR").+\R?

Which looks for entire lines, EOL included, containing, at least, a space char, followed by a string lang", with this case, and followed with a valid language code, different from, either, "fr" and "fr-FR"

Finally, if you just need to bookmark the lines containing a global HTML attribute lang"..........", containing a valid language code, different from, either, "fr" and "fr-FR", use this final regex :

MARK (?-i)\x20lang="(?!fr"|fr-FR")

BR

Great thanks Guy for all you explanations which are precious, and could be precious to next search
Thanks Alan too

***Is there someone here who could be able to make a working extention like “toolbucket” able to search and replace in folders… it should be a great extention

Have you tried Replace in Files on the Find in Files tab of the Find window?

Pouemes44

Hello Alan yes of course
but when i must search and replace multi lines, its not very easy with a sow little windows and must always use regular expresions for lines break, so with and extension it will be super
