Regular expression to match style="whatever:0; morestuff:1; otherstuff:3"

I'm trying to match anything between and including style=""

eg: style="whatever:0; mor开发者_开发问答estuff:1; otherstuff:3"

The pattern will be /style="([^"]*)"/, but may vary a bit depending on what language you're using.

Also if you're trying to do this through javascript, jquery would make this as easy as

$("#element-id").attr("style");

If you're trying to do this from another language, use an HTML parsing lib as HTML isn't regular. BeautifulSoup for Python is quite nice.

String under test

style="whatever:0; morestuff:1; otherstuff:3"

Regex

style\s*=\s*"([^"]*)"

Contents of group 1

whatever:0; morestuff:1; otherstuff:3

Notice!

It is very hard to write a regex-based HTML parser that is correct, secure, and maintainable. If you need to write program that deals with HTML in a robust, reliable, and secure way, you should use a real HTML parsing library like jsoup (Java) or Html Agility Pack (C#). To find an HTML parser for your favorite language, Google: yourlanguage html parser.

If you need to remove all style tags from html (clean inline styles entirely), use this as regexp:

style=\"[^\"]*\"

This works for me in sublime text 2-3

/(style="([^"]*)")/

for the whole string (untested). do you want the key value pairs retrieved as well?
