You can do the same thing (but for img tags that end with the more xhtml compliment tags by modifying the expression to look like this:

]+\/>

It worked for me in jedit.

this is a very good site on regular expression. I am trying to use regular expression for sift through all jsp source files to find out all image tags (standard HTML img tag or struts img tags),regardless of whether they have the alt attributes or not. But my requirement is that the entire code for each image tag must be returned.

This is a not a problem if all the code for an image tag is in one line like . The problem shows if the img tag code crosses multiple lines like

In this case I can only get the first line. But I need to have the all the code returned.

Any help is highly appreciated.

Thanks,

John

I’ve been looking for/trying to create a regex to look for all images without width, height, or alt attributes (so I could then make them XHTML Strict compliant). This regex definitely helps!
I’ve been trying to use the carat to negate the attributes, but didn’t realize it only negates individual characters.

Thanks again.

Very clever. I was trying to find a way to negate the alt in the regexp, but manually specifying everything but it is a wonderful work around. Thanks!
