remove the content in between tags

j1c

How can I remove the content in between tags? I have a page that has
several custom tags:  Content 1  
 Content 2   Content 3
 If I only wanted to see the contents of tag 2 for
example, how could I strip out 1 and 3?

Its going to have to be a combination of InStr() to get the positions of the
end of the first tag and the start of the second. Then probably just a
couple Left() and Right() calls to recombine.

Can you change
 Content 1 

to
 Content 1 

if so then will the following help? Watch for word-wrap.

<html>
<head>
<title>tags.htm</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
function tags(what) {
document.getElementById("tag"+what).style.visibili ty = "hidden";
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
 Content 1 
 
 Content 2 
 
 Content 3 
<input type="button" value="Hide 1" onclick="tags(1)">
<input type="button" value="Hide 2" onclick="tags(2)">
<input type="button" value="Hide 3" onclick="tags(3)">
</body>
</html>

Have you tried?
Break it into steps.
1) grab everything to the left of your opening tag.
2) grab everything to the right of your closing tag.
3) recombine.

I used a regex to do it, however I need to do a 'reverse' loop? :)

So, if I have 10 section tags, but only want to see 1,5,7 how can I
loop through removing any matches that do not equal 1,5 or 7

ick.... Since you know that they all start and end with < and > you'll have
to find every instance, check it against your list and keep/dump
accordingly. Sounds like a royal pain.... what is it you are having to do? I
mean maybe there is a better way.

;) yeah it is..

I am getting passed a large string of HTML that will be displayed on a
site or in an email. This string has up to 10 openning and closing tags
like:
 bla bla bla 

I am also passed a recordset that has a delimitted list of params
(1,5,7)

Those params match tags that are to be displayed. The rest are to be
stripped.

My regex's are a little rusty, but can I not match everything that !=
the params?

This is what I've got on the go now:
Dim strpage
strpage = "a bunch of html..."
Dim sec
sec = Split(sections, ",")
For i = LBound(sec) To UBound(sec)
Set re1 = New RegExp
re1.IgnoreCase = True
re1.Global = False
re1.Pattern = "<!--tag:" & sec(i) & ">(.*)?<!--/tag:" & sec(i) & ">"
Set Matches = re1.Execute(strpage)

strpage = Replace(strpage, Matches.Item(0).SubMatches(0), "")

Next

ick indeed...
Sorry to say I'm no regex master... Maybe one of the others can get you
closer. Sorry I couldnt....
From the sound of it though, there aren't too many options since you dont
control the incoming file format...

Load it into frontpage 2003. It has more advanced editing features
such as this.

You may want to throw in a non-greedy clause if it's possible that tags
would repeat. The new pattern would be

re.Pattern = "().*?()"
