I am using visual studio code to find and replace another part of the string. The string will always contain the string "sitemap" without the quotes but i want to remove index.html
Some examples of what i need replaced:
front/index.htmltemplate.xsl
to
front/template.xsl
com/index.htmlwp-sitemap
to
com/wp-sitemap
Some my attempts on the vs studio code regex search box incude
sitemap[^"']*index.html
and
sitemap.*?(?=index.html)
but neither is identifying all of the strings that need replacing
CodePudding user response：
This might do the trick for you: (index\.html)(?=. (sitemap))
Explanation:
- () = Group multiple tokens together to create a capture group
- (index.html) = Create a capture group around your target string to replace
- (?=. (sitemap)) = Create a capture group for sitemap and allow for any type and number characters between sitemap and index.html until reaching "sitemap".
?=means this is a "positive lookahead" meaning it will match a group after the main expression without including it in the result. In this case it means it will match sitemap and any chars before it without including it in your result -- so you just get index.html.
