    regular expression - injecting div, and removing later

    Hi all,

    I'm having trouble trying to figure out the best approach to this
    problem and I believe regular expressions are the way to go.

    Basically I have created a large string of XHTML using a WYSIWYG editor,
    so the string is like "<p>dfdsfjh ds <img src='temp.jpg' />
    dsfdsfsd</p><p>dfsdfsdfsd </p... "

    What I want to do is the following...

    When SAVING the string to the database I want to replace:

    <img class="myImg" alt="" src="image.jpg" />

    with...

    <div class="cnt_myIm g_left">
    <div class="inner">
    <img class="myImg" alt="" src="image.jpg" />
    <p class="sub_text detail">my picture</p>
    </div>
    </div>


    and when EDITING the string, I want to reinstate the original ....so
    replace:

    <div class="cnt_myIm g_left">
    <div class="inner">
    <img class="myImg" alt="" src="image.jpg" />
    <p class="sub_text detail">my picture</p>
    </div>
    </div>

    with...

    <img class="tmceImg" alt="" src="image.jpg" />


    Does anyone know the best approach to this?

    Many thanks!
    Peter

      Well, I think you already found that this can be done using
      Regex.Replace function. It allows replacement of text using regular
      expressions. Not only can you define the text to replace using a
      regular expression, you can define what to replace it with using a
      replacement string containing special constructs which identify
      portions of the mathed text.

      More about this function
      Regex.Replace Method (System.Text.RegularExpressions)
      http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.text.regularexpressions.regex.replace.aspx
      In a specified input string, replaces strings that match a regular expression pattern with a specified replacement string.
