Removing only uploaded.net links with code surrounding them.

How to remove links only from uploaded but also with code that surrounds them? For now, I go to post and extract links then on the right from uploaded links I write r, the links are gone but code tag that was surrounding them is still there. Any possibility to delete it as well? Other links like rg or ddownload I want to stay, so I don't want to delete all links in post.

You can do it better, but I would need specific examples of what code you have around them and what's left after that regular removal. Make sure the examples are 100% the same as you have in posts (with all new lines).

For example, there is something like this:

Code:

<p>
    
</p>

<pre class="ipsCode">
<span><a href="https://ddownload.com/3zkcwexronm0/Age.of.Empires.II.Definitive.Edition.Dawn.of.the.Dukes.Update.Build.56005-CODEX.rar" rel="external nofollow">https://ddownload.com/3zkcwexronm0/Age.of.Empires.II.Definitive.Edition.Dawn.of.the.Dukes.Update.Build.56005-CODEX.rar</a>
</span></pre>

<p>
    
</p>

<pre class="ipsCode">
<span><a href="http://uploaded.net/file/d2ra09c0/Age.of.Empires.II.Definitive.Edition.Dawn.of.the.Dukes.Update.Build.56005-CODEX.rar" rel="external nofollow">http://uploaded.net/file/d2ra09c0/Age.of.Empires.II.Definitive.Edition.Dawn.of.the.Dukes.Update.Build.56005-CODEX.rar</a>
</span></pre>

<p>
    
</p>

<pre class="ipsCode">
<span><a href="https://clicknupload.to/z1hvsxug8kxn" rel="external nofollow">https://clicknupload.to/z1hvsxug8kxn</a>
</span></pre>

<p>
    
</p>

After removing uploaded links with method described above, the code tag is left there.

Add this replacement for that site (this will basically remove the empty code tags after link is removed):

Search for:

Code:

<pre class=\"ipsCode\">\s*</pre>\s*\s*\s?

Replace with:

Code:

(leave empty)

Enable regex search.

Fully tested. It will be fine then.

For faster removing you can temporary disable all other hosts expect uploaded.net -> then only uploaded.net links will be extracted and you can enable in that window option "Remove all links" (you won't need to enter "r" manually then) -> press "Replace links".

uploaded.net links will be removed (as you did before) + the replacement will remove the empty tags (the replacement only removes empty tags, nothing more, if there are no empty tags it won't affect anything).

Does not seem to work, checked it on post also and code tags still there:

Now I see, my mistake, On screen got , that why he did not delete, and sometimes I see there is no , so I deleted it.

Would the formula like this be good?

Code:

<pre class=\"ipsCode\">\s*</pre>\s*

Or this better?

Code:

<pre class=\"ipsCode\">\s*</pre>\s?

Your testing example is wrong. You have two ending "" tags. When themaManager is removing the link first tag will be removed together with the link.

You probably just removed the <a> tag by hand (this is not how it looks in the forum).

If 100% sure that it's from the forum (not by hand), then that regex won't work at all, you need to add the second tag there for it to work.

Yes, I changed a little the formula, because in different post the wrong combination looks different.

Code:

<pre class=\"ipsCode\">\s*</pre>\s*

I made such formula for now, and it helped, seems to work ok.

How to match this?

Code:

<p>
    
</p>

<p>
    
</p>

<p>
    
</p>

<p>
    
</p>

From this sample:

Code:

<br/>
   <span style="color:#FF9900;"><strong><span style="font-size:14px;">Download:</span></strong></span>
</p>

<p>
    
</p>

<p>
    
</p>

<p>
    
</p>

<p>
    
</p>

Pretty much the same as in previous replacement.

Search for:

Code:

\s*\s*\s*\s*\s*\s*\s*\s*

Replace with:

Code:

(leave empty)

Enable regex search.

I tried that already, but does not work:

Your examples above and in your screenshot are different. Above you had four pairs of empty tags. In the screenshot you have only three.

Just remove one pair from the replacement:

Search for:

Code:

\s*\s*\s*\s*\s*\s*

Replace with:

Code:

(leave empty)

Enable regex search.

You can add both replacements for both cases.

Yes I know, but I checked different combinations already, even with 2 tags, and it does not remove them, I don't know why.

You probably have a space at the end in replacement or the text which you pasted there has some invisible characters.

Tested again. It works fine.
