Re^4: Replace empty alt tag on <img> tag

Generally yes, at least since Perl regex are turing complete

The real question should be: Is it possible with a simple regex?

Answer: No.

A regex parsing HTML wouldn't be less complex than a full scale HTML parser and consist of various nested sub expressions.

Certainly not a one liner.

Unless you're talking about mucking with specific bits of *ML text with specific, limited formatting that you know is never going to vary then even letting regexen enter anywhere near your thoughts is probably heading deep into now you have two problems territory. The cake is a lie. The cake is a lie. The cake is a lie.	[reply]
