Regex to get innerHTML of <code></code> Block

[Patrick Heppler]

Hi,

I'm trying to get innerHTML from <code></code> blocks stored in a database. At the moment my regex only matches oneliners. Regex: <code.*?>(.*?)<\/code>

<code>Do this and then that</code>

Match: "Do this and then that"

<code>

Do this 

and 

then that

</code> 

No Match

Any Idea how to get the innerHTML including new lines?

Hey Patrick,

Try this:

<cfsavecontent variable="wordsToMatch">

<code>
    Do this
    and
    then that
</code>

</cfsavecontent>

<cfdump var="#wordsToMatch#">
<cfdump var="#reReplace(wordsToMatch, "<code>(.+?)(?s)<\/code>", "\1")#">

Here is the explanation:

In my case the s modifier did the trick ;)

I hope this helps you.

I love regex, but just for fun, heres an alternative.

download my jsoup custom tag and then you can use jquery-ish syntax to get the text.

<cfimport taglib="/cfjsoup" prefix="dm" />

<dm:jsoup variable="myhtml">

<code>

Do this 

and 

then that

</code> 

No Match

</dm:jsoup>

<cfscript>

mycode = $('code')[1].textnodes()[1].getWholeText();

echo(mycode);

</cfscript>

if you didn't want line breaks you could do this with just ${'code').text()

Cheers, Chris
