regular expression - injecting div, and removing later

[Stimp]

Hi all,

I'm having trouble trying to figure out the best approach to this
problem and I believe regular expressions are the way to go.

Basically I have created a large string of XHTML using a WYSIWYG editor,
so the string is like "<p>dfdsfjhds <img src='temp.jpg' />
dsfdsfsd</p><p>dfsdfsdfsd</p... "

What I want to do is the following...

When SAVING the string to the database I want to replace:

<img class="myImg" alt="" src="image.jpg" />

with...

<div class="cnt_myImg_left">
<div class="inner">
<img class="myImg" alt="" src="image.jpg" />
<p class="sub_text detail">my picture</p>
</div>
</div>
and when EDITING the string, I want to reinstate the original ....so
replace:

<div class="cnt_myImg_left">
<div class="inner">
<img class="myImg" alt="" src="image.jpg" />
<p class="sub_text detail">my picture</p>
</div>
</div>

with...

<img class="tmceImg" alt="" src="image.jpg" />
Does anyone know the best approach to this?

Many thanks!
Peter

Well, I think you already found that this can be done using
Regex.Replace function. It allows replacement of text using regular
expressions. Not only can you define the text to replace using a
regular expression, you can define what to replace it with using a
replacement string containing special constructs which identify
portions of the mathed text.
