replace keyword within html string
I am looking for a way to replace keywords within a html string with a variable. At the moment i am using the following example.
returnString = Replace(message, "[CustomerName]", customerName, CompareMethod.Text)
The above will work fine if the html block开发者_StackOverflow中文版 is spread fully across the keyword.
eg.
<b>[CustomerName]</b>
However if the formatting of the keyword is split throughout the word, the string is not found and thus not replaced.
e.g.
<b>[Customer</b>Name]
The formatting of the string is out of my control and isn't foolproof. With this in mind what is the best approach to find a keyword within a html string?
Try using Regex expression. Create your expressions here, I used this and it works well.

Use the text property instead of innerHTML if you're using javascript to access the content. That should remove all tags from the content, you give back a clean text representation of the customer's name.
For example, if the content looks like this:
<div id="name">
<b>[Customer</b>Name]
</div>
Then accessing it's text property gives:
var name = document.getElementById("name").text;
// sets name to "[CustomerName]" without the tags
which should be easy to process. Do a regex search now if you need to.
Edit: Since you're doing this processing on the server-side, process the XML recursively and collect the text element's of each node. Since I'm not big on VB.Net, here's some pseudocode:
getNodeText(node) {
text = ""
for each node.children as child {
if child.type == TextNode {
text += child.text
}
else {
text += getNodeText(child);
}
}
return text
}
myXml = xml.load(<html>);
print getNodeText(myXml);
And then replace or whatever there is to be done!
I have found what I believe is a solution to this issue. Well in my scenario it is working.
The html input has been tweaked to place each custom field or keyword within a div with a set id. I have looped through all of the elements within the html string using mshtml and have set the inner text to the correct value when a match is found.
e.g.
Function ReplaceDetails(ByVal message As String, ByVal customerName As String) As String
Dim returnString As String = String.Empty
Dim doc As IHTMLDocument2 = New HTMLDocument
doc.write(message)
doc.close()
For Each el As IHTMLElement In doc.body.all
If (el.id = "Date") Then
el.innerText = Now.ToShortDateString
End If
If (el.id = "CustomerName") Then
el.innerText = customerName
End If
Next
returnString = doc.body.innerHTML
return returnString
Thanks for all of the input. I'm glad to have a solution to the problem.
