Regular expression for nested tags
Regular expression for nested tags
I am developing an extension to highlight some custom scripting code and I need a regular expression that can capture the text between <> (including the outer tags and nested)
example link: https://regex101.com/r/7AkKRU/1
or
small demo (content needed to be capture will be commented):
IF !(<isempty <ctag.add_sub>>) //<isempty <ctag.add_sub>>
if (<ctag0.add_sub_page>) //<ctag0.add_sub_page>
local.index=<eval 14*<ctag.add_sub_page>> //<eval 14*<ctag.add_sub_page>>
endif
local.sub=<LDB.Row.<dctag.add_sub>.subsection> //<LDB.Row.<dctag.add_sub>.subsection>
LDB.query "SELECT rowid,description FROM <ctag.add_mode> WHERE subsection = '<local.sub>'" //<ctag.add_mode> <local.sub>
dtext 516 45 0480 Page (<eval <ctag0.add_sub_page>+1>/<eval (<ldb.row.numrows>/14)+1>) //<eval <ctag0.add_sub_page>+1> <eval (<ldb.row.numrows>/14)+1>
for 0 13
local.desc=<ldb.row.<dlocal.num>.description> //<ldb.row.<dlocal.num>.description>
if (<dlocal.num>< <ldb.row.numrows>) //<dlocal.num> <ldb.row.numrows>
button 760 <dlocal.dy> 4005 4007 1 0 <eval 100000+<dlocal.rowid>> //<dlocal.dy> <eval 100000+<dlocal.rowid>>
endif
endfor
IF (<ldb.row.numrows> > <eval <local.index>+14>) //<ldb.row.numrows> <eval <local.index>+14>
endif
endif
At the moment I have the following regex (don't remember where I copied from, sorry):
(?=<)(?:(?=.?<(?!.?1)(.>(?!.2).))(?=.?>(?!.?2)(.)).)+?.?(?=1)[^<](?=2$)
It works fine, but when the > is the last element of the line it grabs extra content.
