Question

Iam trying to search and replace with regular expression, but it is not working.

I have some html like so:

<p><b>Noten</b></p>
<p><b>somethingelse</b></p>
<p><b>random extra</b></p>
<p><b>something 3</b></p>

And want it like so:

<h2>Noten</h2>
<h2>somethingelse</h2>
<h2>random extra</h2>
<h2>something 3</h2>

But it how do i find all the right elements?
I only can find the ones without the spaces or numbers, like so:

<p><b>[a-z]*</b></p>

and i don’t know how to replace it so that the <p> and <b> tags change in <h2>

Answer 1

Test It

var regex = /<p><b>([^>]+)<\/b><\/p>/ig;
var s="<p><b>Noten</b></p>";
var result = s.replace(regex, "<h2>$1<\/h2>");
alert(result);

but I Recommend you to Use Dom and JQuery for do This It is more easier
