Is there a way to batch transfer <a href> into [sound:]?
Basically, I have a lot of audio files that are embedded in the html and all of them are in the format of <a href="XXXXXX.mp3">, and I 'd like to change these into [sound:XXXXX.mp3] since I found out the former would interrupt music playing on iOS.
Thx in advance!
Use Find and replace:
https://docs.ankiweb.net/browsing.html#find-and-replace
Select the notes, search for <a href="and replace it with [sound: then search for mp3"> and replace it with mp3]. (Make sure, there are no other links starting with <a href=").
You can also do this in one step, if you use regular expressions (Regular expression - Wikipedia) with the regular expression option enabled in the dialogue.
It should be something like
Search (<a href=")(\w*.mp3)(">)
Replace [sound:$2]
It searches for your current link, saves the file name part and uses this part (referenced as $2) with a new prefix and suffix as your replacement.
(See the example with some test cases here: regex101: build, test, and debug regex. Please test on your own!)
so here is a final solution I found that works jic
(<a href=")([^"']+\.mp3)(">)
