I would really want to have a Regex that is executable in node.js (so no jQuery DOM Handling etc., because the tags can have a different nesting) that matches all the text that is NOT a HTML tag or part of it into seperate groups.
E.g. I’d like to match “5”,”ELT.”,”SPR”,” “,”plo”,”Unterricht”,” “,” ” and “plo”
from that String:
<tr class='list even'>
<td class="list" align="center" style="background-color: #FFFFFF" >
<span style="color: #010101">5</span>
</td>
<td class="list" align="center" style="background-color: #FFFFFF" >
<b><span style="color: #010101">ELT.</span></b>
</td>
<td class="list" align="center" style="background-color: #FFFFFF" >
<b><span style="color: #010101">SPR</span></b>
</td>
<td class="list" style="background-color: #FFFFFF" > </td>
<td class="list" align="center" style="background-color: #FFFFFF" >
<strike><span style="color: #010101">pio</span></strike>
</td>
<td class="list" align="center" style="background-color: #FFFFFF" >
<span style="color: #010101">Unterricht</span>
</td>
<td class="list" style="background-color: #FFFFFF" > </td>
<td class="list" style="background-color: #FFFFFF" > </td>
<td class="list" align="center" style="background-color: #FFFFFF" >
<b><span style="color: #010101">pio</span></b>
</td>
</tr>
I can assure that there will be no “>”‘s within the tags.
The solution I found was (?<=^|>)[^><]+?(?=<|$), but that won’t work in node.js (probably because the lookaheads? It says “Invalid group”)
Any suggestions? (and yes, I really think that Regex is the right way to go because the html may be nested in other ways and the content always has the same order because it’s a table)
Try ‘yourhtml’.replace(/(<[^>]*>)/g,’ ‘)
It will give a space delimited text that you want to match (which you can split on space).
