removing style attribute with regex in asp

Question

How can i remove style attribute from any tag with regex in asp?

from:

<div style="margin-top:10px;">test</div>

to:

<div>test</div>



Set objRegExp = New regexp
objRegExp.Pattern = "/style\s*=\s*(\'|').+(\'|')/i"
objRegExp.IgnoreCase = True
objRegExp.Global = True
Set resp = objRegExp.Execute(strWordHTML)
For Each respItem In resp
    strWordHTML= replace(strWordHTML,respItem.Value,"")
Next
Set resp = Nothing
Set objRegExp = Nothing

solved *

(\sstyle=['""][^'""]+?['""])

in objRegExp.Pattern = "/style\s*=\s*(\'|').+(\'|')/i", the starting / and end /i will be interpreted as part of the pattern so you can remove them. /i is accounted for by objRegExp.IgnoreCase = True — user69820

Just what oracle certified professional says, and look at your quote marks. ' does not need to be escaped and is not going to work for " so you have to indicate them. In VBScript " is escaped by a second pair of bunny ears: "". Your regexp pattern string should be something like: "style\s*=\s*[""'].+[""']" — AutomatedChaos

Not using regex and not tested but something like this should work

str = "<div style=""margin-top:10px;"">test</div>"
start = InStr(str, "style")
first = InStr(start, str, """")
second = InStr(first, str, """")

result = Mid(str, 1, start - 1) + Mid(str, second + 1)

To escape quotation mark, I think you have to do double quotation mark.

 dim result = Regex.Replace(HtmlText, "style[^>]*", "")
