I'm stripping out the attributes in <TD> tags...but I want to strip out
everything BUT the COLSPAN attribute.
The following strips out all attributes. What do I do if I want to keep a
certain one?
eregi_replace(" <TD[^>]*>","<TD>", $string);
I suck at regular expressions. I need some help.
Thanks 9 3246

This is what I had used one time long ago:
preg_match_all( '/<td(\s([^>]+)*)>/i',$subject,$at tributes);
preg_match_all( '/[a-z]+\s*=\s*(\'|")? ([^\'"]*)\\1/i',$attributes[2][0],$attributes);
$attributes=$at tributes[0];
I'm sure someone will have something better though...

preg_replace is faster and more powerful
I tried this:
<?php
$data = '===<td a="b" colspan="3" x="y">===';
$regex = '<td([^>]*)( colspan=\S+)([^>]*)>';
$newdata = preg_replace("/$regex/i", '<td$2>', $data);
echo $newdata, "\n";
?>
The output was:
===<td colspan="3">===

That does indeed strip out everything but the colspan! But how do I strip
out everything in TD tags that don't have the colspan at the same time?
Maybe a pattern that matches TD tags if they don't contain colspan?
I wish I knew this stuff...it's very useful.

But how do I strip out everything in TD tags that don't have the colspan at the same time? Maybe a pattern that matches TD tags if they don't contain colspan?
The above regex is very elegant. If you add a ? after the second regex it
will make matching the colspan optional. This can be problematic in terms
of what gets assigned to $1 and $2, so you can add ?: to those previous
patterns to suppress matching, and then use $1, which should be either the
colspan statement of null (but I haven't tested it, so I don't guarantee
it).
So the new regex would be:
$regex = '<td(?:[^>]*)( colspan=\S+)?(? :[^>]*)>';
$newdata = preg_replace("/$regex/i", '<td$1>', $data);
Another approach is to use preg_replace_ca llback: http://us4.php.net/manual/en/functio...e-callback.php
I wish I knew this stuff...it's very useful.
I highly recommend the book Mastering Regular Expressions, by Jeffrey
Friedl. It's very easy to ready and really gets you understand regexes.
Cheers,
Eric

Thanks, but it stripped out everything, including the colspan. I'll try to

Another approach is to use preg_replace_ca llback: http://us4.php.net/manual/en/functio...e-callback.php
And not learn the "negative lookahead assertion"? :-))
This was a very challenging challenge!

That was interesting :)
What I'm really doing is pasting from Excel into an "HTML Area" ( www.interactivetools.com). It's like a text area, but it's a little WYSIWYG
editor for content management systems. I'm stripping out all of the style
garbage Excel puts in its code, and replacing it with cleaned code. It works
great now, but I can't get it to preserve colspans because those get
stripped too.
I'll try some more things. Maybe I'll get it to work :)
Thanks guys
