I need to remove Java Script tags using regular expressions and JRegex
- by piotr
I need to remove all the Java Script tags and the content in between and style tags from the HTML code of web pages.So far I've come up with this expression :
"(<[ \r\n\t]script([ \r\n\t]|){1,}([ \r\n\t]|.)?)|(<[ \r\n\t]noscript([ \r\n\t]|){1,}([ \r\n\t]|.)?)|(<[ \r\n\t]style([ \r\n\t]|){1,}([ \r\n\t]|.)?)"
I use JRegex library to work with regular expressions. When I test it in any regex tester it works just fine, but once I run my program - it all crashes down with this error report:
Exception in thread "Thread-0" java.lang.StackOverflowError

And it keeps on going forever. If anyone can give me an advice on this one - I'll be very grateful.
