Regex for replacing class

AlwaysNew · 06-18-2020, 07:54 AM

Hi, can anyone help in replacing this class with nested code inside, throughout multiple documents?

From

Code:

<p class="p23"><span id=“ [chapter number] ”></span> [chapter title] </p>

To

Code:

<h1 class="p23"><span id=“ [chapter number] ”></span> [chapter title] </h1>

Thanks!

Quick and dirty but works.
Question does your span id have spaces around the number?
Search:

Code:

<p class="p(\d+)"><span id=“(\d+)”></span>(.*?)</p>

Replace:

Code:

<h1 class="p23"><span id=“\1”></span>\2</h1>

This plugin is designed exactly for that task; no need for regular expressions. Although it does allow you to use them if you want to match multiple classes and such.

Thanks, but I think I was not clear enough. I already have the chapter numbers and titles in each file, I just want to change the beginning class and its closing tag from <p to <h1 and leave the nested code as is.

Make sense?

If the "p23" class is fix, then you could just use this:

Search:

Code:

<p class="p23">(.*?)</p>

Replace:

Code:

<h1 class="p23">\1</h1>

You can check this plugin (Diap's Editing toolbag), which does exactly that and other replacements in an easier way.
