<tip type="regular expressions in Homesite" author="sam at sam-i-am.com">
(this was going to be a question, but then I (think) I fixed it. )
I was using a simple re (in Homesite) to remove dreamweaver comments:
<!-- #Begin|End[^>]+-->
But found it was matching my own comments like:
<!-- END content module: left padding, left col, divider, padding,
content, right margin -->
or more precisely the match was:
END content module: left padding, left col, divider, padding, content,
right margin -->
Using the | (or) was effectively saying match "<!-- #Begin" or "End" ..
not at all what I wanted.
Fixed, it looks like: <!-- #(Begin|End)[^>]+-->
I have this as a saved search in my extended search/replace box, for
rapid removal of all your dreamweaver template / library placeholder
comments, when it comes publishing/delivery time.
