Question

I am trying to capture img tag in HTML using Regex…

So these must be captured:

<img/>
< img id = "f" />

I have used:

"<\s*img(\s.*?)?/>"

But this goes wrong:

< img id = "/>" />

Any idea how to probably capture img tag??

Thanks

On a serious note: Use an xml parser instead.

"<\simg\sid\s=\s\"(.*?)\"\s/>"

Also, you should look into using a regex testing suite like regex buddy.

This might be a good read as well: RegEx match open tags except XHTML self-contained tags
