Strip tags? [#829176]

Hello, I need to strip some span tags with a particular attribute, but leave the enclosed text intact.

For example:

<span class="someClass">Here's my text</span>

Replace with:

Here's my text

Thanks for any help you can offer.

Ok I did managed to create a regex search and replace that seems to work:

Search:

<span class="recentChange">(.*)</span>

Replace:

\1

However the replace operation keeps timing out and I see this error in the logs:

preg_replace() [<a href='function.preg-replace'>function.preg-replace</a>]: Unknown modifier 'p' in c:\inetpub\acquia-drupal\sites\all\modules\contrib\scanner\scanner.module  on line 877.

Also, the replace action just deletes content out of the body field instead of replacing the match. Please help. Thanks!

Your search term itself needs to be "regex safe". Try escaping your closing span tag like so: <\/span> .

Be aware also that only the "greedy" quantifiers work with this module. Try something like this: http://drupal.org/node/534538#comment-1867648

I have a search for images, where I want to remove all of them. I can search like this and get results;

http:\/\/domain.com\/images\*

but I don't get results if I include the <img src=" before the url, no matter how I escape it (or don't escape it).

Never mind, I can find things if i search <img src="http:\/\/ etc - doing something else wrong as it's the end .jpg"> which confuses things.

What I want to do: it's is the entire "img src" path I need to find and replace (not just the filepath to the image). I want to remove some images from nodes. (path is the same, image-name is different, and I'm sure all of you are familiar with the html <img src="blabla.jpg"> which needs to be removed with it.
