POPerl regular expression - search and replace
text
Body
copied!<p>I can't get my head around perl search and replace in a string, or regular expressions. Can someone help, please?</p> <p>I've got a file that contains HTML and I want to change the class of certain items if they a present in given set (in this case a hash table or validated fields that failed validation). So I've got, for example, the following:</p> <pre><code><input name="RMAProcess" type="radio" class="inputnormal" value="Good"> </code></pre> <p>and I want to change the "inputnormal" class to the value "inputpink". What I'm trying to do is make it so that I match the whole string nomatter in which order the properties appear, so that, for example, the following will also match:</p> <pre><code><input name="RMAProcess" type="radio" value="Good" class="inputnormal"> </code></pre> <p>This is because Dreamweaver will sometimes mess around with the order of properties in the HTML during editing, so I can't rely on fixed positions for them.</p> <p>So I end up with something that doesn't work, such as:</p> <pre><code>foreach $key ( keys %FAILED ) { $infile =~ s/<input type="radio" name="$key" value="$VALUES{$key}" class="([a-zA-Z]+)"/$1inputpink"/gi; } </code></pre> <p>Can anyone help me out with this?</p> <p>Thanks.</p> <p>Edit: ok, this kind-of works, assuming the properties inside the tags don't move around:</p> <pre><code>foreach $key ( keys %FAILED ) { $infile =~ s/(<.{4,10}\ type="radio" name="$key".{1,60}class=")([a-zA-Z]+)"/$1inputpink"/gi; } </code></pre> <p>That will have to do for now! Thanks for all your responses.</p>
