rename many files at once

to regex shell bash hints mv by hostmaster on Mar 05, 2008
This is where the bash variable handling makes it even more interesting. Instead of just doing something like "mv $var", we can replace text in the filename using this syntax:

${var/originaltext/replacetext}


So now, if we run this command on our directory:

for f in *;do mv $f ${f/test/prod};done

Select spacer images

to regex image spacer by Rambling on Dec 27, 2007
Regular expression to select image tags with images whose names end in spacer.

<img src="[\w\/\-\_]*spacer.[jpeg|jpg|gif|png]+[^>]*/?>

Strip inline table and image properties

to regex table by Rambling on Dec 27, 2007
I wrote this while cleaning up some code generated by Macromedia Contribute. It put a ton of properties into images and tables

\s*(?:width="\d*")\s*(?:height="\d*")\s*(?:hspace="\d*")?\s*(?:vspace="\d*")?\s*(?:valign="\w*")?\s*(?:align="\w*")?\s*(?:align="\w*")?\s*(?:border="\d*")?

Select inline styles

to regex styles inline by Rambling on Dec 25, 2007 1 Comments
Selects inline styles. I purposely excluded quotation marks from the character set because they cause the expression to select attributes of other tags on the same line.

style="[\s\d\w\.\-\:\;]+"


Edit: Here's a shorter way of accomplishing the same thing:

style="[^"']+"


It's probably worth adding a space before the expression to make sure that you don't leave in unnecessary spaces in the tag and to avoid selecting things that are not styles, such as the bold part of


<!-- fwtable fwsrc="navbar.png" fwbase="navbar.gif" fwstyle="Dreamweaver" fwdocid = "742308039" fwnested="0" -->

Select all font tags

to regex font by Rambling on Dec 25, 2007 1 Comments
Regular expression to select all font tags in a HTML document.
