isn't it possible add an alert ../help/Matching%20Commands.html#ALERT ?

or add an ../help/Matching Commands.html#ADDLST to that part of the match?
then check the ADDLST file after a month


semi-threadjack warning.. :-)

A while ago, I was trying to fix bad styles on a horribly stubborn webpage. i noticed an inline !important in the page. So I made a simple filter to erase the idiot's !important
I first wrote an ALERT into this:

Code:

Name = "CleanImportantCss[Sbk20111217T1a4"
Active = TRUE
Multi = TRUE
URL = "$TYPE(css)"
Bounds = "([a-z -]+\:[^!]+)\1 ! important"
Limit = 512
Match = "*"
Replace = "\1"

But during the next few hours, the alert annoyed me too often, so i deleted the ALERT.
I could have edited the filter to create a ADDLST log, but I don't think there's somewhere to send the (long) output.

PS. the filter's a bit loose, since it doesn't check if !important is inside style brackets or double quotes. I think a better filter would follow something like:

Code:

<style*>
[^<]+
([a-z -]+\:[^!]+)\1 ! important
*
</style>

or if checking for inline:

Code:

<[^ ]+\s*++style\=\"*++([a-z -]+\:[^!]+)\1 ! important[^"]+\"*>

but I dreaded hours of debugging..

someday I'll be reading a webpage discussing !important, and the sample code won't make sense. And maybe I'll send an email (no, don't!) to the website stating such. Oops.
