Regex - Match attribute in an HTML code

Question

Aryan Kumar · Answer

Sure, here is a regular expression to match an attribute in an HTML code:
andlt;\w+ \w+=\"([^\"]+)\">
The andlt; metacharacter matches the beginning of an HTML tag. The 
\w+ metacharacter matches one or more word characters. The \w+ metacharacter matches one or more word characters. The
=\" metacharacter matches an equal sign. The ([^\"]+) part of the pattern matches any character except a double quote, and the
\"> metacharacter matches the end of an HTML tag.
So, this regex pattern will match any HTML tag that has an attribute with a value.
For example, the following HTML code would be matched by this regex pattern:
HTML
andlt;input type="text" name="username">
The type and name attributes would be matched by the pattern.
The following HTML code would not be matched by this regex pattern:
HTML
andlt;h1>This is a headingandlt;/h1>
The h1 tag does not have any attributes.
