indie 0 Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 (edited) I am trying to change this [sharedmedia=core:attachments:****] into this [ATTACH]****[/ATTACH] And leave the same numbers intact, the *s are unique numbers per post. Thanks for any help! Edited February 6 by indie Quote Link to post Share on other sites
requinix 986 Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 Could create a second BBCode tag that turns [attach] into [sharedmedia], so both tags would be supported. Actually I rather suggest that in case there's something still using or generating [sharedmedia]s - wouldn't want to break those. Would also mean not having to deal with the database. If you have a more specific question, like what code you have to write or regular expression to create, then you should probably ask that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
indie 0 Posted February 7 Author Share Posted February 7 Not two codes no. Yes, looking for regex to take care of it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
requinix 986 Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 What have you been able to come up with so far, and what happened/didn't happen when you tried it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
indie 0 Posted February 8 Author Share Posted February 8 Unfortunately nothing, that's why I am asking. This is not my skill department. But I can surely paste a query lol. What I need is a regex code to change the above. So where the **** would be 6453, in the below code, the **** would also be 6453. So all it keeps is the attachment number. Thanks!

requinix 986 Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 Creating the regex is fairly straightforward: start with the literal string you want to find, escape any special characters that you don't want to be special (like the [ ]s), then substitute in stuff like (\d+) where you want to find numbers. The replacement string works much the same way, and you can reference the matched numbers from before using $1 or \1 (careful of the backslash). Honestly, you're probably overestimating how difficult this will be. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
indie 0 Posted February 9 Author Share Posted February 9 That's all Greek to me. Looking for someone to post it for me, can pay. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
awjudd 2 Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 @indie I know I'm coming fairly late, but here is your Regex: \[sharedmedia=core:attachments:(\d+)\] https://rubular.com/r/fOGRTK3l3LcLx1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
