wblake37 Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 Hi there, and thanks for clicking my thread I have a problem I cant work out what the best way to resolve it because of my limited knowledge with php etc. I basically want to mass edit all wordpress posts on my blog (6,801) They are all youtube videos so they look kind of look like this: <object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c5CcWoSzYj4?fs=1" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /> <embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="355" src="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c5CcWoSzYj4?fs=1&rel=0" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object> I want to pull that youtube url then replace it all with this code <script type='text/javascript' src='jwplayer.js'></script> <div id='mediaspace'>This text will be replaced</div> <script type='text/javascript'> jwplayer('mediaspace').setup({ 'flashplayer': 'player.swf', 'file': 'http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c5CcWoSzYj4?fs=1', 'controlbar': 'bottom', 'width': '470', 'height': '320' }); </script> Would this be possible? I have basic php/html knowledge but from what i understand i need. Some sort of script to read the url inside the <object> tag then replace it all with the new jwplayer code (looks so much better) Thanks for reading, any thought towards this is much appreciated.

wildteen88 Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 Yes you can use preg_replace for this. regular-expressions.info is a great place for learning regular expressions.
