javascript regex replace `"` in tags

Question

I got a string like this :

"{"name":"joy","tag":"<img src="/1/1.png"/>hello<img src="/1/2.png">"}"

I know how to match all chars between <> , but have no idea how to replace certain char ... I want to replace " with ' .

so how did you match the text inside the < and >?

you can do something like

var result = "{\"name\":\"joy\",\"tag\":\"<img src=\"/1/1.png\"/>hello<img src=\"/1/2.png\">\"}".replace(/<(.*?)>/g, function(a, b){
    return a.replace(/"/g, "'");
});

console.log(result);

and this will replace all the quotes inside the html elements for single quotes, the 'g' is to replace ALL the occurrences

Hope it helps.

str = '{"name":"joy","tag":"<img src="/1/1.png"/>hello<img src="/1/2.png">"}';

Solution 1:

res = str.match(/\<[^>]+\>/g);
for(var i = 0, l = res.length; i < l; i++){
    str = str.replace(res[i], res[i].replace(/"/g, "'"));
}

Solution 2:
!!! This solution would be work only for one set of "" !!!

res = str.replace(/(\<[^">]*)"([^">]*)"([^>]*\>)/g, "$1'$2'$3");

Result:

"{"name":"joy","tag":"<img src='/1/1.png'/>hello<img src='/1/2.png'>"}"

Same with @S. Garces .

I simplified my json string , it contains more than one pair of "" ..

user3335966 Over a year ago

@passion I mean one pair between <>;

@passion I think You can't make it in single regex. 1st solution must resolve all cases with ";
