The HTML string is:
"<div>\r\n<video controls=\"controls\" height=\"313\" id=\"video201643154436\" poster=\"/uploads/ckeditor/pictures/18/content_56883622_18f242e114.jpg\" width=\"500\"><source src=\"/uploads/ckeditor/attachments/23/newtons_law.mp4\" type=\"video/mp4\" />Your browser doesn't support video.<br />\r\nPlease download the file: <a href=\"/uploads/ckeditor/attachments/23/newtons_law.mp4\">video/mp4</a></video>\r\n</div>\r\n\r\n<div>test description</div>\r\n\r\n<div>\r\n<div>\r\n<video controls=\"controls\" height=\"300\" id=\"video201644152011\" poster=\"\" width=\"400\"><source src=\"/uploads/ckeditor/attachments/24/test.mp4\" type=\"video/mp4\" />Your browser doesn't support video.<br />\r\nPlease download the file: <a href=\"/uploads/ckeditor/attachments/24/test.mp4\">video/mp4</a></video>\r\n</div>\r\n\r\n<p> </p>\r\n</div>\r\n"
I want to replace all video tags including its content and sub tags with [[ Video ]]
The expected output is:
"<div>\r\n[[ Video ]]\r\n</div>\r\n\r\n<div>test description</div>\r\n\r\n<div>\r\n<div>\r\n[[ Video ]]\r\n</div>\r\n\r\n<p> </p>\r\n</div>\r\n"
I have tried using the regex /<video\s(.*?)<\/video(?=[>])>/, but it's not working properly.
I think that you need to substitute this two exact strings, and also the content inside this tags
first the beginning and ending strings:
"<video "
"</video>"
puts html_text.gsub("<video ","[[ video ]] ").gsub('</video>',"[[ video ]]")
This should work
irb(main):020:0> <div>
[[ video ]] controls="controls" height="313" id="video201643154436" poster="/uploads/ckeditor/pictures/18/content_56883622_18f242e114.jpg" width="500"><source src="/uploads/ckeditor/attachments/23/newtons_law.mp4" type="video/mp4" />Your browser doesn't support video.<br />
Please download the file: <a href="/uploads/ckeditor/attachments/23/newtons_law.mp4">video/mp4</a>[[ video ]]
</div>
<div>test description</div>
<div>
<div>
[[ video ]] controls="controls" height="300" id="video201644152011" poster="" width="400"><source src="/uploads/ckeditor/attachments/24/test.mp4" type="video/mp4" />Your browser doesn't support video.<br />
Please download the file: <a href="/uploads/ckeditor/attachments/24/test.mp4">video/mp4</a>[[ video ]]
</div>
<p> </p>
</div>
=> true
or with regular expressions
puts html_text.gsub(/<\/?video[\s>]/, "[[ video ]]")
<div>
[[ video ]]controls="controls" height="313" id="video201643154436" poster="/uploads/ckeditor/pictures/18/content_56883622_18f242e114.jpg" width="500"><source src="/uploads/ckeditor/attachments/23/newtons_law.mp4" type="video/mp4" />Your browser doesn't support video.<br />
Please download the file: <a href="/uploads/ckeditor/attachments/23/newtons_law.mp4">video/mp4</a>[[ video ]]
</div>
<div>test description</div>
<div>
<div>
[[ video ]]controls="controls" height="300" id="video201644152011" poster="" width="400"><source src="/uploads/ckeditor/attachments/24/test.mp4" type="video/mp4" />Your browser doesn't support video.<br />
Please download the file: <a href="/uploads/ckeditor/attachments/24/test.mp4">video/mp4</a>[[ video ]]
</div>
<p> </p>
</div>
Finally to remove all the inside this tag and all the content replace all. the problem is the \n character use this modifiers:
/.*/m multiline: . matches newline /.*/i ignore case /.*/x extended: ignore whitespace in pattern
so finally if we join alltogether the regular expression is:
puts html_text.gsub(/<video\s.*?<\/video>/mix, "[[ video ]]")
result
irb(main):043:0> <div>
[[ video ]]
</div>
<div>test description</div>
<div>
<div>
[[ video ]]
</div>
<p> </p>
</div>
=> true
