regex - Regular expression for XML element with arbitrary attribute value -


i'm not confortable regex.

i have text file lot of data , different formats. want keep kind of string.

<data name=\"myproptertyvalue\" xml:space=\"preserve\">

only value of name property can change.

so imagined regex <data name=\\\"(.)\\\" xml:space=\\\"preserve\\\"> it's not working.

any tips?

your (.) capture single character; add quantifier + (“one or more”):

/<data name=\\"(.+)\\" xml:space=\\"preserve\\">/

depending on input (element element or entire document) , on want achieve (removing/replacing/testing/capturing), should make regex global (by adding g flag), applied not once. also, should make + quantifier lazy adding ? it. make non-greedy, because want capturing stop @ ending quote of attribute (like quotation mark: [^"]). then, this:

/<data name=\\"(.+?)\\" xml:space=\\"preserve\\">/g
