I'm trying to get the text from the [QOUTE] and [/QUOTE] but can seem to get it correctly. I'm just trying to pick it out and delete it. So I want to extract the text within as well as the actual HTML [QUOTE] parts. Just want to get rid of that entire code block via regex:
What I'm working with:
\[QUOTE(.+)|\[\/QUOTE]|
Text Example:
[QUOTE="", post: 1910681, member: 001""]
This is where the quote is located
[/QUOTE]
[URL unfurl=""true""]https://www.google.com[/URL]


Assuming those tags can't be nested, you can use the following regex with the single-line flag to match the tags and their content :
\[QUOTE\b.*?\[/QUOTE]
You can try it here.

Regular expression to get a string between two strings in Javascript

I have a link that I want to grab a specific character out of. This is the link in question
"https://example.com/example-myexample/from/MyHouse/to/48DFjjhf333333333/view"
I want to grab the following id 48DFjjhf333333333 from this link using a regular expression. In this link /to/ and /view never change. The only thing that ever changes is the id that you see 48DFjjhf333333333.
I've tried the following regular expression:
\/to(.*?)\/view
This grabs everything along with /to/ and /view as follows /to/48DFjjhf333333333/view. I want to grab just the ID itself 48DFjjhf333333333

You just need to access the matching group with [1]
console.log("https://example.com/example-myexample/from/MyHouse/to/48DFjjhf333333333/view".match(/\/to\/(.*?)\/view/)[1])

The problem is that I don't want to keep any text after covered.
I tried using .+?name":"(.+?)"(\S+) which removed some of the text I want to keep.
How do I fix this?

You should search using a pattern which targets the entire file:
Find: ^.*"name":"(.+?)".*$
Replace: $1
What is currently happening is that your pattern only targets everything up to the literal in quotes appearing after the key name. The content after that is not being replaced.

Notepad++ Return ONLY content within an XML Tag [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
Notepad++ and regex with removal of unmatching sections
(2 answers)
Closed 3 years ago.
I have a HUGE set of XML documents that have very specific tags. I'm looking to remove everything [EXCEPT] the content within a tag called :
<DisplayContents>
<ID>8</ID>
<Type>102</Type>
<Contents>A whole bunch of stuff in this tag</Contents>
</DisplayContents>
In this example I would simply want to see the text A whole bunch of stuff in this tag
I've tried to use:
<(Contents).*?>|</.(Contents)>
as a Regex and Mark the lines... then remove the unmarked. But that seems to remove everything :( So - I'm doing something wrong and it is likely because I'm not much of a Regex guru.
**EDIT: The stuff within Contents is very long and spans many lines with line feeds, in case that is what is tripping this up. **

My guess is that you wish to remove everything except,
A whole bunch of stuff in this tag
for which maybe an expression similar to,
<DisplayContents>[\s\S]*?<Contents>(.*?)<\/Contents>[\s\S]*?<\/DisplayContents>
being replaced with $1 might work.

Regular Expression Replace on Notepad++ [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
Notepad++ v4.2.2. regular expressions to match and replace all text between two tags
(2 answers)
Closed 3 years ago.
I need a regular expression to replace the value in XML tags. I need to find * and replace it with XXXXX. I made an attempt to do this but its giving me "invalid regex".
<TAG>\('(.*?'\)</TAG>
// replace with:
<TAG>XXXXX</TAG>

I suspect that your actual starting content is something like this:
<TAG>some content here</TAG>
If you want to mask the content of such tags, you may try the following find and replace, in regex mode:
Find: <TAG>(.*?)</TAG>
Replace: <TAG>XXXXX</TAG>
Demo
Note that in general it is not desirable to manipulate nested content like XML/HTML using regex. But sometimes, e.g. when using tools like NPP, we are forced to do this. My answer should work fine assuming you are only targeting <TAG> elements which have no other children tags inside of them.

How to end regex on first search [duplicate]

My regex is matching too much. How do I make it stop? [duplicate]
(5 answers)
Closed 4 years ago.
I have the following string:
<center>DB Results:</center><center><b><br>ripster.ultima</b></center><center><b><br>raghav.jhavar</b></center></center></td></tr></table>
I want to extract "ripster.ultima" and "raghav.jhavar", so I used the following regex:
(?<=<center><b><br>)(.*)(?=<\/b><\/center>)
Now, this works in some cases, but not in all: https://regex101.com/r/imO8A8/4
In the link above, the first example is a single line. When I put in a single line, it does not select the individual strings. However, if its separated by a new line as seen in the second example, the strings I want are highlighted.
How do I get the strings in the first example?

You don’t need to group the first and the last patterns
<center><b><br>(.*?)<\/b><\/center>
