I'm not sure if what I'm looking for is possible. I know I can do this with multiple links in a Text Filter but I've always been curious if I was missing an elegant way to do this in a single regex. I read about the If-Then Conditional Subpatterns in the user manual but that doesn't quite seem to support what I'm looking for.
In the example, I wish to update a tag with the 'bar' attribute giving it a specific value whether the attribute exists or not. I can do this but not without sometimes ending up with duplicating thet attribute or issues like that. since I don't know what if any other attributes may be on each side of the 'bar="..."' attribute my efforts have started off as something like the following: http([^"]+)"([^>]*)(bar="that"|)([^>]*)> However because of the need to use ([^>]*) to try and capture possible other unknow attributes, the following (bar="that"|) doesn't make sense because the previous group could include bar="that" and match the second half of (bar="Product"|) examples of the result I'm wondering if I can achieve with a single regex. a find <a href="example1" foo="this" bar="that" alt="maybe"> replace <a href="example1" foo="this" bar="example1" alt="maybe"> b find <a href="example1" foo="this" alt="maybe"> replace <a href="example2" foo="this" bar="example2" alt="maybe"> Is it possible and if so, how?
