Question

I have a big html file (87000+ lines) and want to delete all occurrences of onclick from all elements. Two examples of what I want to catch are:

 1. onclick="fnSelectNode('name2',2, true);"
 2. onclick="fnExpandNode('img3','node3','/include/format_DB.asp?Index2=3');"

The problem is that both function names and parameters passed to them are not the same. So I need a Regular expression that matches onclick= + anything + );”

And I need one that works in Notepad++

Thanks for helping 😉

Answer 1

Not familiar with notepad++, but what I use in vim is:

onclick="[^"]+"

Of course this depends on there being double quotes around the onclick in every case…
