Good day to everybody!
I have this sort of HTML file:
<tr>
<td>
<p>First name: </p>
</td>
<td>
<p> %first_name% </p>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<p>Last name: </p>
</td>
<td>
<p"> %last_name% </p>
</td>
</tr>
I'm looking for a way of replacing special markers of type(%smth%) by concrete data. Project's being developed under Qt, so I wonder if some Qt's methods can do it. Thanks!
The simplest solution might be using QString & QString::replace ( const QString & before, const QString & after, Qt::CaseSensitivity cs = Qt::CaseSensitive ) which replaces every occurrence of the string before with the string after and returns a reference to this string.
Place the contents of your html file into a QString then call QString::replace() to replace the special markers by concrete data. For example:
QString firstName("John");
html.replace("%first_name%", firstName);
As far as you can not use regexps, I recommend using XSLT which supported by xmlpatterns library.
EDIT
As someone thinks he still can parse html with regexp in this case, I will give some examples, that will show regexps fail:
You have marker in attribute (and you don't want it to be replaced)
<p class="%first name">
Someone would deside to inject:
map: %firstname -> <srcipt language ="javascript">....</script>
After XSLT substitution will be escaped automatically.
