Question

So I have this java String.

<script type="text/javascript"  
    src="https://c328740.ssl.cf1.rackcdn.com/mathjax/latest/MathJax.js?config=TeX-AMS-MML_HTMLorMML">
</script>
<script type='text/x-mathjax-config'>
    MathJax.Hub.Config({tex2jax: {inlineMath: [['$','$'], ['\\(','\\)']]}});
</script>

that I want to replace with "".

What I am doing is this :

.replaceAll("(<img[^>]*>)|(<script[^>]*>)", "")

but this doesn’t remove MathJax.Hub.Config({tex2jax: {inlineMath: [['$','$'], ['\\(','\\)']]}}); between the script tags.

the above regex looks for all <img> tags also and replaces them with "", the same I want to achive for the above shown <script> tags and everything between them also.

Answer 1

This seems to be working

str = Pattern.compile("<img .+?</img>|<script .+?</script>", Pattern.DOTALL).matcher(str).replaceAll("");

note that your str has CRLF this why DOTALL
