Question

I have 40 html pages. all this html pages contains a number of classes and ids. My client wants to prefix the class and ids like this: “z_classname”, “#z_id” with all ids and classes throughout the 40 html pages.

Now I did this all by manually. I want to check the ids and classes where I am not prefixed. For that I like to use the regexp using my komodo editor find option. Komodo editor has the regexp support with find option. Anyone can help me how I can make the regexp to find the class and id’s which is not contain the prefix “z_” ?

Answer 1

Don’t know if Komodo’s regex engine supports lookahead, but if it does, then

(class|id)="(?!z_)([^"]*)"

should work.

Replace that with

\1="z_\2"

or possibly

$1="z_$2"

(again, depending on the implementation details of the Komodo regex library).
