Regex replacement question

General
1

I’m trying to embed images into html. The Regex pattern is working. The replacement pattern works in RegexRx but not in Xojo.

dim theRegex as new RegEx theRegex.options.greedy = False theRegex.Options.TreatTargetAsOneLine = True theRegex.searchPattern = "(<img.*)(src ?= ?cid:" + ContentID + ")(.*>)" theRegex.ReplacementPattern = "\\1src=""data:image/gif;base64," + InlineImages.Value(ContentID) + """\\3" HtmlText = theRegex.Replace(HtmlText)

where ContentID is the string I’m looking for and InlineImages has the base64encoded data for the replacement.

The html is a bit long to post. Here is the relevant part:

The result is:

[quote]
Pre: <img src=“data:image/gif;base64,”>[/quote]

What am I doing wrong here?

I’m not in front of my machine but try using $ instead of \ in the replacement pattern.

Using $ instead of \ doesn’t make a difference. Is this a bug? I’m going to try the MBS plugin next.

As usual it was a PEBKAC problem. I thought I had checked the replacement data but I hadn’t.
