regular expression !$<..{}!!!!! :) (:

[common_ground]

I need to replace all the code between several php tags with a simple link, there is different code between the tags I want to do this using the dreamweaver search and replace but I cant work out the expression to highlight <?php anything ?>

any thoughts

Yeah, it's a bit awkward ... I'm not 100% sure that regexes in DW follow all the rules seamlessly.

Also, I'm not an expert on regexes 🙁 so someone else might have a simpler solution, but ...

<\?php([^{?]\?[>]){1,1}[?]*\?>}

... seems to work ok.

If you can guarantee that there isn't a ? between the php
tags, then it'd be a whole lot simpler.

Incidentally, I first tried ...

<\?php([^{?]\?[>])[?]*\?>}

... which should, I think, be exactly equivalent, but it fails if there are questions marks in the php code. Maybe someone else knows why.

Paul.

PS Remember not to 'match case'.
