RE: help on forming Regular expression - More clear question

[Srinivasan Krishnan]

Title: Message

Greetings,

 

i have got commets saying my previous query to group is not clear .. sorry for that .. here is a better formed question .. help me

 

 

 

I am using jakartha ORO package in JAVA for the same.

 

My intention is to split the HTML attributes and work on it individually

 

for example

 

<img key = value key1= value1 key2= value2 > 

 

is a string i get i want to separate  keys and values

like

 

key = value

key1 = value1

key2 = value 2

 

This works by using below expression

 

"<img\\s*([^>]*)\\s*>" is my Regex in java  ..  ( you will find a extra / in java when u compare PERL expression )

 

it works fine in parsing <img src="javascript:void(0);" value =10> and spearates

 

src =" "test""

value = 10.

 

 

Problem is when one of my value has my delimter >

 

for example if my string to be checked is <img src="<%=Value%>" value=10> 

 

if fails ( because it has seen a > in  src="<%=Value%> " ) . But i want the parsing to stop only in the final >

 

 

Can you pelase Help me  in replacing [^>]* such away that it allows %> and stops only in >

 

regards,

srini sk
