Question

I am having trouble figuring out how I could get this regex replace to work. I am using textmate and trying to get this:

title="cuba1" (could be any number range from 1-50 and any country name)

to be replaced with this:

data-group="cuba1, cuba" class="cuba“

I have multiple countries with multiple numbers that may or may not go on a country (cuba1, cuba2, etc) as I am setting these on areas and sometimes I need to have groups of areas. This would allow me to implement them faster without needing to do this by hand.

Any help would be appreciated.

Regex:

title="(([a-zA-Z]+)\d*)"

Replacement:

data-group="$1, $2" class="$2"

Tested in Notepad++. These constructs are pretty standard though; should work with any regex implementation.

EDIT: Comes with the usual caveat: regular expressions are not a good fit for HTML
