I want to find and replace a bunch of links, except I don't know how to format the search expression. I want to find the links that look like this:
http://website.com/test.php?id=930&name=hello
The 930 and hello are the variables that are different.
edit: I tried "http://website.com/test.php?id=.*&name=.*"> but it selects a bunch of stuff after that too like img src on that line etc
I tried using [^"]* or (.*?) instead of .* but it says it can't find the text :(
Notepad++ seems to have limited regex. It doesn't use the nongreedy variants (.*?) and some anchors for word boundaries like \b, \Z are also not working.
I think this will help you:
http://website.com/test.php?id=\d*&name=\w*
insted of searching for .* which will also match to whitespaces, use \d* this will find only numbers and \w*, this will find only letters.
If the name can contain other things than letters than use this
http://website.com/test.php?id=\d*&name=[\w\d]*
and add into the [] all you need to match. in my example it will match letters and numbers.
Hint for future questions: Think about your tags. If you would have used the tag "regex", you would have gotten 5 answers within minutes for your question.
