Hi All

I need to pull out the long value between the " " any ideas for a regular expression. Cheers.

<INPUT name=epdqdata type=hidden value="3F3CCB89A399D038C952439C788A9DACB04721DEF8D4AFAAE6E4F96FEB5AFB4DA6C8C196EAF895548EC6861C64166DB693A0569E6AFA1430A12944D9F035C6FD7CBE912F017E18A7DDDFE136CB9817FA8E2C61496A8C59A7">

If it's always gonna be done with attributes in X/HTML, you might as well use DOM's getElementsByTagName()[].attributes.getNamedItem().value, much less work.

Language? Regular expressions library?

Code:

/value="([A-F0-9]+)"/

...should do it.

Unless those spaces and newlines are in the source too, in which case

Code:

/value="([A-F0-9 \r\n]+)"/

might be handier (assuming CR and LF are represented by \r and \n, note)

Thought they might be, but figured hey if it saves him another post asking about his spaces then why not
