Regular Expression for img src using javascript

Question

I want RE for this string pattern:

src="http://www.prphotos.com/f/1335/CSM-001335/Robert-Pattinson,-Reese-Witherspoon-Water-for-Elephants-New-York-City-Premiere---Arrivals.jpg"  border="0"

I am using:

<img.[\w+\s+\d+\W]*/>

Also do I have to write different RE for different languages like javascript,PHP etc?

The usual approach for this is to use a HTML parser. What is your use case? What kind of data are you searching in? — Pekka

The question is ambiguous: Are you trying to match any image tag, only image tags with src="..." and border="...", only image tags from prpphotos.com, only image tags of a certain type from this particular site, etc.? — ninjagecko

<img [^>]*src=".*?[^\]"[^>]*/>

You may need to write \ as \\
