Find and Replace with Visual Studio Code to replace cell alignment with a class - visual-studio-code

Since the align attribute is considered obselete I am cleaning up code to remove it and replace with a CSS class. I'm trying to determine if there is a way to do this using find and replace (or something else) in VS Code.
As an example, I might have some html that looks like this:
<table>
<tr>
<td align="left" class="someclass" id="mainTitleCell" title="Title1">Title1</td>
<td align="center" title="Title2">Title2</td>
<td class="someclass" align="right" title="Title3">Title3</td> <!-- attributes are not always in the same order -->
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="left">Title</td>
<td align="center">Title</td>
<td align="right">Title</td>
</tr>
</table>
which I would like to change to
<table>
<tr>
<td class="left someclass" id="mainTitleCell" title="Title1">Title1</td>
<td class="center" title="Title2">Title2</td>
<td class="right someclass" title="Title3">Title3</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="left">Content</td>
<td class="center">Content</td>
<td class="right">Content</td>
</tr>
</table>
Basically removing the align attribute and either adding a class attribute with a specific value OR adding a specific value to an existing class attribute. Is there a way to do this with the Edit...Replace option in VS Code? I know I can find based on a regex but not sure how I would go about the replace since this becomes
Find the align tag
Remove it
Find a class attribute in the <td> or <th> tag and add the appropriate class
If there is no class attribute, add one with the appropriate class.
Obviously step #1 & 2 are easy, it's #3 & 4 that I'm not sure of. I'd be totally happy with having to run 3 separate find and replace commands (one for left, center and right).
Do I have any options here (I am open to extensions)?
UPDATE:
#Mark had the right answer and I was able to chain together several find and replace commands using the Replace Rules extension. With that I can open a file, run a single keystroke to find and replace everything and clean up the extra spaces in the class attribute.

Try this:
Find: align="(.*?)"(.*?) class="(.*?)"|class="(.*?)"(.*?) align="(.*?)"|align="(.*?)"
Replace: class="$7$1$6 $3$4"$2$5
See regex101 demo.
I'm a little surprised this works as well as it does (I included a couple of other test cases you didn't). The only issue (thus far...) is that it can result in one stray space, as in:
<td class="left ">Title</td> // only happens when there is no class attribute
as you can see in the demo page. You could then search for " and replace with just ". It could be handled by a conditional replacement but vscode find/replace doesn't allow those.
To some degree attributes will be re-ordered so that the class attribute is first, but not always - you didn't mention that as a concern - any attribute that occurs before either the first class or align attribute will not be moved. Otherwise, attributes like id or title if they are between class<->attribute (in any order) will be put last.

Cannot define Row Class to Footable

I'm using jQuery Footable V3 and trying to using the class="" attribute to but when the table is initialized the class attr desappear
Here is my example
<table class="table footable " data-page-size="20" data-paging="true" data-filtering="true" data-sorting="true" ">
<thead>
<tr>
<th data-type="number" data-breakpoints="all" >ID</th>
<th data-sortable="false" data-filterable="false" data-formatter="formatter">X</th>
<th data-type="text" data-sortable="true"><?=_("DescripciĆ³n")?></th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr class="danger">
<td>1111111111111</td>
<td>1111111111111</td>
<td>1111111111111</td> </tbody> </table>
Not only class attributes are removed from static tables (where HTML was already created before footable() call) but also HTML inside TD (links, images etc.) with current version 3.0.1.
The current FT 3 documentation is misleading concerning "static" tables, partially wrong.
Have a look at Github issues. You'll find some related to your question.
The best way to avoid this behavior is to load table rows and columns via JSON strings e.g. created with PHP.
Or to use workarounds. Use attributes like data-myclass="danger" and convert it via JQuery to class attribute after FT has been initialized. Sometimes slow!
Or use FT 2 until developers post a statement or maybe new version 3.

Selenium IDE target of subsequent cell in table based on first cells content

Basically, in English I want to tell Selenium "look for the content ttc202 in column one, of a multi-row, multicolumn table, then mouseOver on the Edit link"
HTML is as follows:
<tr id="86" class="ui-widget-content jqgrow ui-row-ltr ui-state-highlight" tabindex="0" role="row" aria-selected="true">
<td aria-describedby="jqLst_Short Name" style="text-align:left;" role="gridcell">
ttc202
</td>
<td aria-describedby="jqLst_Long Name" style="text-align:left;" role="gridcell">
Testing Training Company 202
</td>
<td aria-describedby="jqLst_Actions" title="" style="text-align:center;" role="gridcell">
<a class="act avw" title="View this Organisation" href="company/view?lcId=86"></a>
<a class="act aed" title="Edit this Organisation" href="company/edit?lcId=86"></a>
</td>
</tr>
I have tried this:
//td[contains(text(),'ttc202')]/following-sibling::td[contains(a/title(),'Edit this Organisation')]/a
All help appreciated. I assume I am missing something to skip over the first column, but can't imagine what will enable me to do that...
Progress:
I have found the following as an alternative which should get to the correct cell, but I am not able to workout how to target the title in the link code:
//td[normalize-space() ="ttc202"])[1]/following-sibling::td[2]/a[. = 'Edit']
I think this is progress just not sufficient to get me to the finish line!
After much investigation I found the following answer, perhaps this might help others who come across this question:
//tr[contains(td[1], "ttc202")]/td[3]/a[#title='Edit this Organisation']
The trick was realising which cell the information was in (represented by the square brackets).

Parent Parent Next Child Child selector?

How can I simplify this jquery selector?
$(this).parent().parent().next().children().children().slideDown('normal');
It works but I want to learn on how to improve it.
Thanks!
:)
Update: Here is the code sample.
<tr>
<td><div class="LinkHeader accordionButton">TRAINING VIDEOS<span class="right"></span></div></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<!-- Content of Training Videos -->
<td align="left" valign="top">
<div class="accordionContent"> (I want to select this div)
<div id="yunero"></div>
</div>
</td>
</tr>
According to your markup, it would be shorter (and arguably clearer) to write:
$(this).closest("tr").next().find(".accordionContent").slideDown();
Here, closest() will walk the ancestor chain and match the first <tr> element it finds, then next() will match its immediate next sibling, and finally find() with a class selector will return the <div> element you're interested in.
In passing, note that strictly speaking there is no "normal" duration for animations. The only supported strings are "fast" (200 ms) and "slow" (600 ms), and any other string will be interpreted as 400 ms, as if you had omitted the argument altogether. For instance, slideDown("superFast") will behave exactly the same as slideDown("normal") or plain slideDown().

Nesting dynamically displayed components in wicket

I have a need to create following kind of markup with wicket using ajax:
<table>
<tr>
<td><a>first</a></td>
<tr>
<tr>
<td>displayed/closed if first is clicked <a>open</a></td>
</tr>
<tr><td>this and following displayed/closed if above open is clicked</td></tr>
<tr><td>there may be any number of these</td></tr>
<tr>
<td>there may be any number of these as well <a>open</a></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>any number of these as well <a>second</a></td>
</tr>
</table>
How to use ListViews or some other wicket element to individually toggle open "inner" rows of the table. I don't want to resort to render everything and toggling visibility but really create the rows in server side only when expand is requested. The markup should also be valid xhtml (rules out arbitrary container for row groups). I know I can put multiple tbodys, but it's good enough only for one level of nesting (no .... allowed).
From Lord Torgamus' comment, the ajax tree sounds appropriate..

vb.net inline IF with OR... not evaluating

I'm working on a small problem where I'm trying to show/hide a panel based on two criteria
A specific data field must not be blank
The specific data filed must also not equal "Not Relocatable"
Unfortunately this doesn't seem to be working for me (note that setting either one or the other criteria works just fine.)
<asp:Panel runat="server" Visible='<%#If(Not String.IsNullOrEmpty(DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "_236")) Or Not DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "_236") = "Not Relocatable", True, False)%>'>
<tr>
<td>
</td>
<td class="align-right lightgreen">
Buyer would consider relocating a business, if it is:
</td>
<td>
</td>
<td colspan="3">
<%#DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "_236")%>
</td>
<td>
</td>
</tr>
</asp:Panel>
Can anyone lend a hand to rectify this problem for me?
The syntax <%# %> is a data binding syntax, not an inline expression syntax. You cannot use procedural code inside of it like you can in the inline code <% %> tags.
Data binding tags must contain a single Eval or Bind function. If you need to do conditional branching based on those functions, you will need to do it using inline code around the binding tags.
