I'm trying to replace the window.location link function to window.open in my template..

The HTML looks like: 

<div onclick="window.location="http://www.website.com/""</div>

I've tried following examples from the below links without any luck...

Add _blank to all external links Using str_replace( )

What should I use str_replace or preg_replace?

    First of all fix your HTML, quotes are wrong there, either escape them or use single quotes – Mr. Alien May 06 '14 at 11:09
  • You have to use `preg_replace`, since you're not just doing a simple string replacement, you need to match the pattern `window.location="blah"` and add something before and after it. – Barmar May 06 '14 at 11:09

Use preg_replace:

$new_line = preg_replace('/window.location=([\'"][^"\']*[\'"])/', 'window.open($1)', $line);
