RE:

[Mikael Petterson (KI/EAB)]

Hi,

I am trying:

<replaceregexp file="index.htm">
  <regexp pattern="\(*&#34;CUSTOM_APPL_REV&#34; VALUE = &#34;[A-Z0-9]&#34;\)"/>
  <substitution expression="\1 kalle"/>
</replaceregexp>

but still no match.

This is the line:

        <PARAM NAME = "CUSTOM_APPL_REV" VALUE = "R11A02">

cheers,

//mikael

I would actually suggest to use non-greedy regex constructs for the
two occurrences of ".*", otherwise you may have cases where your
catchall expressions match more than you want.

[^&#34;]* zero or more characters that are not a double quote (you may
have to escape special characters :-)) - so as to match everything up
to the first double quote.

[^V]+ one or more characters that are not a capital V - avoids
matching more than wanted.

This is all untested.
