HTML Regex Composition

Question

I am trying to capture img tag in HTML using Regex...

So these must be captured:

<img/>
< img id = "f" />

I have used:

"<\s*img(\s.*?)?/>"

But this goes wrong:

< img id = "/>" />

Any idea how to probably capture img tag??

Thanks

Which flavor of regex are you using, Perl, JavaScript, .NET...? And do you really have tags with whitespace between opening angle bracket and the tag name? I don't think that's legal in HTML. — Alan Moore, Oct 06 '10 at 11:48

On a serious note: Use an xml parser instead.

"<\simg\sid\s=\s\"(.*?)\"\s/>"

Also, you should look into using a regex testing suite like regex buddy.

"<\s*img\s(?:.+?\s*=\s*(\"|')?.*?\1\s*)?/>"

I think this should take the quotes into account. Didn't test it though.

You can use this regex

<\s*?img[\s\S]*?/>
