Regular Expression

                     String ss =   "<img src=\"x.jpg\" alt=\"image\" title=\"mysooper dooper image\" /> ";


Pattern p = Pattern.compile("title=\"(.*?)\"");
        
        Matcher m = p.matcher(ss);
        while (m.find()) {
           System.out.println(m.group(1));
        }

Output:

You really need the following for tolerance though

s = s.replaceAll("title\\s*=\\s*\".*?\"", "title=\"\"");

 Hi ! I tried both of them and the title of the image is still there :(

Please show your actual input where it failed

The following is the output from the code below

<img src="x.jpg" alt="image" title="" />

String s =   "<img src=\"x.jpg\" alt=\"image\" title=\"mysooper dooper image\" /> ";
s = s.replaceAll("title\\s*=\\s*\".*?\"", "title=\"\"");
System.out.println(s);

Select allOpen in new window

How about:

String source = "<img src=\"x.jpg\" alt=\"image\" title=\"mysooper dooper image\" />";

String result = source.replaceAll("<img [^>]*)title=\"[^\"]*\"([^>]*)", "$1$2");

Select allOpen in new window

Hmmm...  I misread the question  : (

Correction:

String source = "<img src=\"x.jpg\" alt=\"image\" title=\"mysooper dooper image\" />";

String result = source.replaceAll("<img [^>]*title=\")[^\"]*(\"[^>]*)", "$1$2");

Select allOpen in new window

@CEHJ

my bad :) it works ... however if I have something like this is crashes:
title="blablal&&
bla
bla
bla"

title spans over multiple lines. I believe after each  line is a CR

OK. Try

s = s.replaceAll("(?s)title\\s*=\\s*\".*?\"", "title=\"\"");

Select allOpen in new window

Although I did forget an opening parentheses, the pattern I posted should account for multiple lines. Corrected paren below:

String result = source.replaceAll("(<img [^>]*title=\")[^\"]*(\"[^>]*)", "$1$2");

That won't work either unless you turn on single-line mode  : )

Never mind. I missed it  : (

This works for me; I just tested:

    String ss =   "<img src=\"x.jpg\" alt=\"image\" title=\"mysooper dooper image\" /> ";
       ss= ss.replaceAll("title=\"(.*?)\"","");
        System.out.println(ss);

Select allOpen in new window

Output:

<img src="x.jpg" alt="image"  /> 
 

Select allOpen in new window

Or this way if you want the word title= to leave there:

     String ss =   "<img src=\"x.jpg\" alt=\"image\" title=\"mysooper dooper image\" /> ";
       ss= ss.replaceAll("title=\"(.*?)\"","title=\"\"");
        System.out.println(ss);

Select allOpen in new window

Output:

<img src="x.jpg" alt="image" title="" /> 

Select allOpen in new window

>>ss= ss.replaceAll("title=\"(.*?)\"","title=\"\"");

The group is redundant and simply creates overhead. The pattern will fail for multiline

     String regexString ="title=\"(.*)\"";
            Pattern p = Pattern.compile(regexString);
            String one = "<img src=\"x.jpg\" alt=\"image\" title=\"mysooper dooper image\" />";
            String two = "<img src=\"x.jpg\" alt=\"image\" title=\" \" />";

            Matcher matcher = p.matcher(one);
            if(matcher.find())
            {
                  System.out.println(matcher.group(1));
            }

sorry i believe i am repeating the answer. sorry for that.

This works with multiline title:

             String ss =   "<img src=\"x.jpg\" alt=\"image\" title=\"mysooper "+ System.getProperty("line.seprator") + "dooper image\" /> ";
       ss= ss.replaceAll("title=\"([^\r\n]*?)\"","title=\"\"");
        System.out.println("result: " +  ss);

Select allOpen in new window

Output:

result: <img src="x.jpg" alt="image" title="" />

Yes, true, group is not necessary, I first thought that filter out means oppositely to extract;
group is from that time

group is necessary if u would like to get the title name.
