AhhhH!: Removing everything between <div id="admin-menu">...</div>

[ultrus]

Now that I've let it out....

 

I'm using Dreamweaver, which can make use of regular expressions just like php, to clean up a ton of static archived pages. I want to select content between <div id="admin-menu"> and the next </div> that will be replaced with nothing in my find and replace box.

 

I have to use regex because the content between those tags change from page to page, no other divs though in between so that might help.

 

Any thoughts? This stuff makes my head hurt. 

 

Best regards,

 

Chris

 

EDIT:

 

Here's a start, selects any div, contents, closing div (I'm fine if I select the div along with the content). Now I just need to add the ' id="admin-menu"' bit so that I don't select just any content...

 

<div\b[^>]*>(.*?)</div>

You need a DOM parser. Regex wouldn't know how to find the matching DIV if there are DIVs inside your HTML code (which I'm sure there is)

There's other divs, but not other divs with the id of "admin-menu", and no other divs inside of that, just a giant unordered list with links. I'm getting close to a solution. Any other thoughts before I beat you to the solution?

Ok, maybe your right. I put some good practice in and came up with the same results. Thanks for your help!
