What's Wrong With This HTML Code?

[Gawdzilla Sama]

That list of "supporting software" is incomplete. Almost all programming/HTML editors should support regular expressions, either out of the box, or via plugins.

I quite like Textpad, but it hasn't been updated since 2009. I haven't looked to see if it does regular expressions.

It also doesn't cover programming language support for regular expressions, which is very widespread. There could be situations where that would come in very handy indeed.

"Software can't hurt hardware." Repeat as needed.

The computer says "yes":

Actually, that's not true in all cases*, but it is true for this sort of work.

*"Bricking" devices via software is possible in some scenarios, but only some.

Yeah, I noted the tick box in the search pop-up.

As for the hardware, I know better.

Zilla, Textpad has an excellent regular expression engine. When I've tidied up hundreds of files in the past, I usually do it in small steps on all the files simultaneously, checking I haven't fucked anything up as I go along. It's probably best you only work on open files at first, so you can undo any changes if required.

I mostly want to get table cells to be on one line so I can do the indexing easier. Right now it's del/backspace/del/backspace, and so on.

And I'd also like to automate the blank space removal around the ">" and "<".

[Pappa]

To get table cells on one line:

Search:

/td>\s*\n?\s*<td

Replace:

/td><td

That should catch most of them.

Careful trimming whitespace after a >. You might remove spaces between words unintentionally.

How about I just remove whitespace between > and < ?

Nope. That's where the space you want to keep could be.

But if there's nothing but whitespace between them? </td> ..........</tr>, where the dots are whitespaces?

If it's only between the various table tags, that'll be fine, but don't do it for inline text tags.

I'll have to find that regex and see what it can do.

You can install HTML Tidy as a Textpad addon. It will do a fair bit of the work for you.
