I've export my bookmarks from FF in to a html file but it's too huge and complicated, so I need to remove some firefox lines from it to make it more lighter and plain.
I can replace basic things in the Notepad++ but I guess I do need some operators for this and I have no idea how to make it work right.
For example here is the line from the file containing a link to Logodesignlove :
<A HREF="http://www.logodesignlove.com/" ADD_DATE="1256428672" LAST_MODIFIED="1256428672" ICON_URI="http://www.logodesignlove.com/favicon.ico" ICON="data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAABAAAAAQCAYAAAAf8/9hAAABDUlEQVQ4jWNgGF7gy9a9iS88Yw4803F49a6oYfHn589FGRgYGD4vWZv70iX80HMrv9MfF6zMw6r5Q/ukjkcMUv+R8TNzn+sv/eNPoou/753ZhKL5x8OHSo/Y5P+gK8SFH3Io//j+7Jk8wum79scQqxmGv2zcFQM34Ouhk96kGvBp5cZUuAGfnz8Xfcil8otoA5hl//+8cU8PJRxeJxZtJtaAlz5xJxkYGBhRDPh1/77BQ26V7wQDkFPp+9crN02xRuWnxavL8RrAIvv/8+otWXgT0/vu6ZMfMclgtZmgZrhLlm9MfSKi/Rmm+bm517VvF69ZEKUZBr68fCn+oWNK68cpC+qePXvGRZJmUgAAVs4XULOHB/oAAAAASUVORK5CYII=">Logo Design Love</A>
I need to remove all those tags I don't care about, like LAST_MODIFIED="1256428672", ICON_URI="bunch of digits" ICON="bunch of characters" etc. And of course I need to remove all those tags in every link in the list.
So I was thinking like use something like "Find all tags LAST_MODIFIED="anynumbers" and replace it with nothing/remove it" - it doesn't work though.
Examle how it should like:
<A HREF="http://www.logodesignlove.com/">Logo Design Love</A>
So far I removed LAST_MODIFIED and ADD_DATE lines thanks to Aleksandr. So LAST_MODIFIED="\d+" worked just fine. But ICON and ICON_URI are still there. I've tried ICON="\w+" - but it doesn't work. I guess it has something to do with the slashes.
Why look for what you don't want when it's easier to keep hold of what you do want and drop the junk?
(<A HREF=".*?").*?(>.*?>)

$1$2
Code edited to suit Notepad++ now I know it doesn't need the special chars escaped. Thanks Aleksandr.
