regex "?" with higher priority greedynes then the previous "?" ?

user743 · 05-04-2014, 01:37 AM

I'm trying to make a regex to add <body>, </body> and </html> tags, wherever they are missing.

maybe this will work.

Code:

(</head>\s*)(<body>)?([^(</(body|html)>)]+).*

replace with

Code:

\1<body>\3</body></html>

is there a simpler and more reliable regex, like

Code:

(</head>\s*)(<body>)?(.+)(</body>)?^^extra greedy^^\s?(</html>)?^^extra greedy^^

replace with

Code:

\1<body>\3</body></html>

to give one "?" first priority to be greedy, before a previous "?".

edit
is at least the first regex valid and reliable?

Just use beautify, it will add <body> and <html> ( and /) when missing.
