Search and Replace Question

[DareDevil]

Hi,

Is it possible to (and if yes how) to find all instance of
a string similar to this:

height=34

and have dreamweaver replace it with

height="34"

I know about the RegExp in search and replace and have already
tried using a search on height=\d* to find all the matching strings,
but I can't figure out how to automatically add the quotes...(height="\d*"
didn't work)

Thanks for your help!

hi,

yes, it's possible. go to Edit > Find And Replace. Or press CTRL+F and it
should open a dialog for you..

Yes I know that...
I'd like to find a way to have dreamweaver replace all height=<any number>
by
height="<any number>"

I used height=34 only as an example...

Thanks

what about pressing "replace all"?

Search for "Source code": height=34
Replace with: height="34"

and then press "R
eplace all".

try this on a page- but backup first, it's late here

Find in Source: Specific Tag-->IMG
With: Attribute-->Width= (\d*)

Action: Set Attribute Width= "$1"

Put checkmark in "use RegExp"

Hi

I am trying to do some thing like this, but am getting the wrong output. Can
somebody tell if my regular expression is wrong or not?

---------Perl script---------------------------------------
$line = "ABCXYZGwcTI\\ABCXYZIntValTI";

$line=~s/ABCXYZ(.*)TI/Hello$1/g;
print $line;
---------Output---------------------------------------
HelloGwcTI\\ABCXYZIntVal
---------Expected Output-------------------------
HelloGwc\\HelloIntVal
----------------------------------------------------------
Thanks in Adcance

that's not the output of the above script. you shouldn't see '\\', there
should be just one. the other one is long gone from the double quote. next
time you post, you should be more careful to provide the correct output of
your script as to avoid confusion.

again, i assume you mean: "HelloGwc\HelloIntVal"

the reason is because (.*) is greedy and matching from the first 'G' up to
the last 'l'. you need to stop the greedy-ness (.*) like:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;

my $line1 = "ABCXYZGwcTI\\ABCXYZIntValTI";
my $line2 = $line1;

#--
#-- for your purpose, you can use either one of followings
#--
$line1 =~ s/ABCXYZ(.+?)TI/Hello$1/g;
$line2 =~ s/ABCXYZ(.*?)TI/Hello$1/g;

print $line1,"\n";
print $line2,"\n";

__END__

prints:

HelloGwc\HelloIntVal
HelloGwc\HelloIntVal
