Remove all but XML style tags from text

[leuce]

G'day everyone

Here's what I want to do:

Turn this: <a0>This is a <a0/><b1>house<b1/>.

In to this: <a0><a0/><b1><b1/>

A couple of months ago I asked a similar question to this one, here, and the solution I got removing XML style tags here worked fine.

But this time I want to do the opposite, and after struggling several minutes with various regex strings I must admit that I do not understand how AutoIt's regex functions work. As far as my mind can stretch, this should work:

$j = StringRegExpReplace($i, '^(<[a-z,0-9,\\]*>)', '')

...but it doesn't -- in fact, it removes the first XML tag.

Can anyone please put me out of my misery and tell me what the correct regex syntax for this would be?

Thanks

Samuel

Use StringReplace() and _StringBetween()

Try this:

#include <array.au3>
$i = "<a0>This is a <a0/><b1>house<b1/>."
$array = StringRegExp($i, '(<[a-z][0-9][/]{0,1}>)', 3)
$j = _ArrayToString ( $array, "")
MsgBox(0,"Info",$j)oÝ÷ ØÜjDz¢ì­éh¢H§ú+k²¶Þ¶êçë-ªê-N¬Æ¡¢ëªê-bjwhÛaÌÉ«­¢+ØÀÌØí¤ôÅÕ½Ðì±ÐíÀÐíQ¡¥Ì¥Ì±ÐíÀ¼Ðì±ÐíÄÐí¡½ÕͱÐíļÐì¸ÅÕ½Ðì(ÀÌØíÍÑÉ¥¹ôMÑÉ¥¹IáÁIÁ± ÀÌØí¤°Ìäì ±ÐímµéulÀ´åul½uìÀ°ÅôÐì¤Ìäì°ÅÕ½ÐìÅÕ½Ðì¤)5Í ½à À°ÅÕ½Ðí%¹¼ÅÕ½Ðì°ÀÌØíÍÑÉ¥¹¤
