I would like to convert the attribute of the HTML link tag (a tag) in the VBA regular expression to add rel="noopener noreferrer" as a separate tag.

Asked 2 years ago, Updated 2 years ago, 95 views

ExcelVBA is creating software that automatically prints HTML.


so that all link tags can be opened with a separate tag (a separate window) I would like to convert it.And automatically
for security measures I would like to add rel="noopener no moreferrer", but
I'm not familiar with regular expressions, so I don't know how to write patterns
I don't know.

Rewrite all a tags in HTML to open with a different tag
Could you tell me the code with a pattern?

Thank you for your cooperation.

The regular expression can be "<a+" and the replacement string can be "<a target="_blank""rel="noopener norferrer"" to form <a target="_blank"rel="noopener norfer" hrefode=...
Below is an example of how to develop a little and add target="_blank" after href.
In addition, if the original string contains a target or rel attribute, the decision process is not considered.
Add conditional branches, etc. as needed.

sample code

Sub button 1_Click()
    Dimreg As Object
    Set reg=CreateObject("VBScript.RegExp")

    With reg
        .Pattern="(<a.+?)(href\s*=\s*"".+?)" 
        .IgnoreCase=True
        .Global=True
    End With

    Dim srcStr As String
    Dim newStr As String
    srcStr="<a href=""http://hoge/">a href="Do not convert here""</a>"+vbCrLf+_
    "<a href=""http://fuga:1234?piyo"">/a>"+vbCrLf+_
    "<a href=""http://foo""target="_blank"">In this case, duplicate targets are </a>" 
    newStr=reg.Replace(srcStr, "$1$2 target=""_blank""rel=""nooper noreferrer""")
    MsgBox newStr
End Sub

Run Results

 -------------------------------
Microsoft Excel
---------------------------
<a href="http://hoge/"target="_blank" rel="noopener noneferrer">a href="I won't convert here"</a>

<a href="http://fuga:1234?piyo" target="_blank" rel="noopener noneferrer">/a>

<a href="http://foo" target="_blank" rel="nooper no moreferrer" target="_blank">In this case, the target is duplicated </a>
---------------------------
OK.
