Question

in Gedit Can I use image tag for find and replace with a space.

You will need the "Regex Search & Replace" to do this. Here's how to install the plugin:

• Download: http://vaem.googlecode.com/files/gedit2_regex_replace_plugin.tar.gz
• Open Nautilus and go to this directory: ~/.gnome2/gedit/plugins (create all of them if necessary)
• Extract the contents of gedit2_regex_replace_plugin.tar.gz in ~/.gnome2/gedit/plugins (make sure that at the end you will have a directory named regex_replace and a file named regex_replace.gedit-plugin inside ~/.gnome2/gedit/plugins)
• Now enable the plugin: Edit -> Preferences -> Plugins tab and check "Regex Search & Replace"
• Click the Close button
• Now let's use this plugin: press Control + Alt + H
• In "Search for" write the following regexp: <img(.*)(/>|></img>)
  • (This should be enough to catch both "new" and "old" style img tags)
• The plugin won't let your replace with an empty string so either push "Find" and manually delete all occurrences or insert a blank space and click "Replace all"
  • (Anyway I suggest to use "Find and Replace" so that you have a chance to review what is going to be removed).
