My response... the regex was untested and that one looks very good! It's all about the process. When the process is known, the rest is easy! Even if it's not quite right, you can figure it out.

Twiddle, fiddled and meddled for my own education can came up with :

<img [.* ]?alt="([^"]*)".*>

Not a whole lot different from the one Paul created I know, but when I tested Paul's it didn't quite work - no idea why.

If I've got this right it looks for :
1) a string beginning with '<img '
2) followed by an optional number of characters
3) followed by 'alt="'
4) captures any characters that aren't a double quote (into back reference one - \1)
5) followed by a double quote
6) followed by any number of characters and a '>'


So if you take Paul's REReplace and put that regex in, it should spit out the contents of the alt tags.


Does anyone have a regex that will strip all image tags from html but leave the contents of the alt tag.


What are you after exactly??


Sorry about that before - my brain blocked out the word "alt" so all I read was "the contents of the tag"
