Hello Regular Expression Geeks.

I'm assuming you mean perl's regexps?

Hmmm, actually I am using an html editor that allows extended
searches using regular expressions, so I am somewhat limited by what
that allows. I should have been more specific.

oh!  well, seems that it has a similar syntax :)

Anyway, the actual regexp here is:

   <img[^>]+border="[0-9]*"

Hope that will help.

I think this will only find img tags that have a border property, but I need
to find img tags that are missing the border property.


By the way, if you need to edit hundreds of lines, using an automated
process might save you hours and hours of time.  Drop me an email if
you want some help with that :)

Thanks for the kind offer. :-)  I suspect once we can isolate the lines that
are offensive that it will only be a very few that actually need to be
changed.  Also, the same editor that allows us to use RegExpr for searching
will allow us to use a syntax similar to perl for replacement text.  Of
course I need to be able to capture the offending text to be able to
creatively replace it!  hehehe.

Thanks again.
