Search varying lines and replace at end of lines with regular expressions

Question

Find in Eclipse, what reg expression? input <CFCOOKIE name="JOE" value="2">
<CFCOOKIE name="Bill" value="2000">, etc...
Replace in Eclipse, what reg expression? output <CFCOOKIE name="Joe" value="2" httponly="yes" secure="Yes> <CFCOOKIE name="Bill" value="2000" httponly="yes" secure="Yes>", etc. Looking for reg expressions to do this work. Please help newbe. This is using menus in Eclipse--no language other than regular expressions needed. Btw, the original data like may have more than two properties. I need to insert httponly="yes" secure="Yes" before the final >

Answer 1

First. You didn't specify a language. As you are a newbie and you said

Eclipse

I expect it to be Java, although I might be wrong.

The answer would be to use some sort of XML parsing function to just add the attributes and revert them to strings

or if you really insist on it a Regular Expression, your pattern would look something like this:

"(<CFCOOKIE name=\")(\w*?)(\" value=\"\d+\")>"

And to use it you would write:

String string = "<CFCOOKIE name=\"JOE\" value=\"2\">\n"
     + "<CFCOOKIE name=\"Bill\" value=\"2000\">";
String sub = "$1$2$3 httponly=\"yes\" secure=\"Yes\">";
        
Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile("(<CFCOOKIE name=\\\")(\\w*?)(\\\" value=\\\"\\d+\\\")>");
Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(string);

String result = matcher.replaceAll(sub);
System.out.println("Result: " + result);

If you have to convert names to [A-Z][a-z] forms I would recommend reading about how to do that and incorporating this answer with mine.

As you stated in the comment, you want to use Eclipse built-in text replacer. To replace like you want just use <(CFCOOKIE .*?)> and replace it with <$1 httponly="yes" secure="Yes"> and that should work.
