Find and Replace Plugin - multiples AND regex?
Development and Programming

Hi All,
I’m trying to use the find and replace plugin with both regex and multiple on:
{exp:replace find="<a ><\\/a><h2>(.+)<\\/h2>|<p>.+<\\/p>|<img.+>" replace="<p><a >$2</a></p>|<p>para</p>|<p>image</p>" regex="yes" multiple="yes"}
<a href="http://test%22name=%22test%22></a>h2test">test heading_para_image__I’m getting:_
_<a href="test">test heading</a>
|
para
|
image
<a href="">
|
para
|
image
<a href="">
|
para
|
imageAny thoughts on what might be wrong? The doco doesn’t show any examples that use both regex and multiple, so maybe it can’t do that?

Not sure why, but some of the code dropped out - trying again - the preview says this should display accurately.
Nope - it is still stripping bits. Will try and attach instead.

Hi Deborah,
Here’s a quick quote from the docs:
The multiple parameter has no effect when using a regular expression find and replace.
So there you go. It’s not possible to combine the two, because the pipeline character is actually part of the regex syntax.
