Hi, I am trying to write a regexp that removes file paths from links and images.
href="path/path/file" to href="file"
href="/file" to href="file"
src="/path/file" to src="file"
and so on...
I thought that I had it working, but it messes up if there are two paths in the string it is working on. I think
my expression is too greedy. It finds the very last file in the entire string.
This is
my code that shows the expression messing up on the test input:
<script type="text/javascript" src="/javascripts/jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
var s = '<a href="one/keepthis"><img src="/one/two/keep.this"></a>';
var t = s.replace(/(src|href)=("|').*\/(.*)\2/gi,"$1=$2$3$2");
alert(t);
});
</script>
It gives the output:
<a href="keep.this"></a>
The correct output should be:
<a href="keepthis"><img src="keep.this"></a>
Thanks for any tips!
