Trond Åge Kvalø	Thursday 29 January 2004 8:22:47 am Consider the following block of text: images/navbar_images/navbar4/navbar_hpp4_r2_c11_f3.gif This is an image used in one of my two javascript pop-up menus created with macromedia fireworks. I have somewhere about 100 or even more references to images that constitute my menus. They all start with "images/" and end with ".gif" but have different things in between. Now I want to change all of those into: {images/navbar_images/navbar4/navbar_hpp4_r2_c11_f3.gif\|ezimage} That is insert "{" at the beginning and append "\|ezimage}" to the end. Can anyone please help me with the regular expression for this? Best regards Trond Åge Kvalø Senior develolper Atlantia as http://www.atlantia.no/ trondåge

Consider the following block of text:

images/navbar_images/navbar4/navbar_hpp4_r2_c11_f3.gif

This is an image used in one of my two javascript pop-up menus created with macromedia fireworks. I have somewhere about 100 or even more references to images that constitute my menus.

They all start with "images/" and end with ".gif" but have different things in between.

Now I want to change all of those into:

{images/navbar_images/navbar4/navbar_hpp4_r2_c11_f3.gif|ezimage}

That is insert "{" at the beginning and append "|ezimage}" to the end.

Can anyone please help me with the regular expression for this?

s/(images\/[^,\n]+\.gif)/\{($1)\|ezimage\}/

which in terms of dreamweaver is to put

(images\/[^,\n]+\.gif) in the Find:-field

and

{$1|ezimage} in the Replace:field

and check the Use regular expression checbox
