Regex help

[powerranger]

I'd like to replace any html tags containing "< >" with a space. For
example, <TR VALIGN=TOP>, I'd like to replace that with a space. Is
there a way to do this? Thanks.

Hi,

The expression would be something like this:

\<(.+?)\>

Group 1 will be the contents of the html tag without the brackets.

e.g.
// C#
string _InputText = "example, <TR VALIGN=TOP>, I'd like to replace";

Regex MyRegex = new Regex(@"\<(.+?)\>", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase);
string nohtmltags = MyRegex.Replace(_InputText, " ");

Another one would be

\<([^>]+)\>

explanation:
Match '<'
Match one or more characters but dont match '>'
Match '>'

This isnt specifically a perl question, I'm running squid, and running it
through a regex. The question, I'm trying to filter out some spam/ad sites
using regex, I started with the "Penis Enlarging" websites.

I want to match "penis" and "enlarge" in any order, So far I've got

[(penis)(large)(.*)]
I've also tried [(penis)(large)(.*)]{1,} with no luck. Anyone a regex king
that could help me out? :)

Matching "this" or "that" in any order *can* be done in a single
(Perl-) regex, but it's a nuisance and doesn't scale. Use an extra
regex for each word.

I'm testing to 2 possibilities, to prevent legit websites from being
unnecessarily filtered, I'm thinking of *penis*enlarge* and in reverse
*enlarge*penis*. Whats the proper regex way of doing this?

print "Spam!" if (/penis enlarge/i || /enlarge penis/i );

/enlarge/ || /penis/

Your just trying to make us use rudy words (like "enlarge") aren't you :)

I'm no big perl guru, but doesnt || mean "OR", so any url's with "enlarge"
in the title would get mark as spam? how about,

(enlarge AND penis) OR (penis AND enlarge)

the OR could be ditched, for say to regex, am i looking at this the right
way?

Guys Iam parsing three wbsites for specific links using three different regex.
I have tested all three regex using a regex tester and they all give me the
desired results. My regex are located in an XML doc and I have a seperate CF
file that reads the doc and uses the regex from the XML. However when I place
the parse results into an array one of the regex returns nothing. I dont think
my regex is wrong as I have tested it could someone please take a look? Here is
my regex: href={{:punct:]]+id(.*?)[[:digit:]]+[[:punct:]] Here is an example of
the html i am parsing: <td><a hre='?id=3400305'> Thanks in advance
