I have a text:
<font class="myclass">class abc</font>
and i have a pattern: class
now, i want to find the word “class” before “abc” but not in the <font class="myclass"> ,how could i do with RegExp in javascript?
Thanks! 🙂
Darin’s comment is spot on — don’t use RegEx to parse HTML.
If, however, you have a very narrow requirement to find the word “class” immediately following a
>, here’s your pattern:>classThere is a space at the end. If you need to capture “class” for replacement, surround it with parentheses
( ), then use the capture group\1.This is not terribly robust, but is a start and is only applicable for a very narrow search requirement, not for any more involved parsing.
