How can I remove the (//<![CDATA[ , //]]>
) blocks; tags inside a script
element.
<script type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[
var l=new Array();
..........................
..........................
//]]>
</script>
Looks like it can be done with preg_replace()
but havent found a solution that works for me.
What regex would I use?
The following regex will do it...
$removed = preg_replace('/^\s*\/\/<!\[CDATA\[([\s\S]*)\/\/\]\]>\s*\z/',
'$1',
$scriptText);
CodePad.
You don't need regex for a static string.
Replace those parts of the texts with nothing:
$string = str_replace("//<![CDATA[","",$string);
$string = str_replace("//]]>","",$string);
If you must...
$s = preg_replace('~//<!\[CDATA\[\s*|\s*//\]\]>~', '', $s);
This will remove the whole line containing each tag without messing up the indentation of the enclosed code.
You can also try,
$s=str_replace(array("//<![CDATA[","//]]>"),"",$s);
use str_replace()
instead of preg_replace()
it's lot easier
$var = str_replace('<![CDATA[', '', $var);
$var = str_replace(']]','',$var);
echo $var;
I use like this to remove <![CDATA[]]
but on single line now work for me, dont know if for multiple line string.
preg_match_all('/CDATA\[(.*?)\]/', $your_string_before_this, $datas);
$string_result_after_this = $datas[1][0];
$nodeText = '<![CDATA[some text]]>';
$text = removeCdataFormat($nodeText);
public function removeCdataFormat($nodeText)
{
$regex_replace = array('','');
$regex_patterns = array(
'/<!\[CDATA\[/',
'/\]\]>/'
);
return trim(preg_replace($regex_patterns, $regex_replace, $nodeText));
}
