Learning as I go....

What's the regex pattern to find all instances of something like this: test1224269150994="271"

<td test1224269150994="271">
<tr test1224269150994="271" test1224269150994="281">

I'm trying test.*> but it selects the last > in the document, not the next instance after the start of the pattern.

I'm just trying to replace them with empty strings.

Thanks
 
I thnk this is it: test.+?"[0-9]+"

Look right?
 
If test prefix is not generic, do this for name/value pair.
[tt] rx=/\w+\s*=\s*("|').*?\1/g;[/tt]
If test prefix is something you want to restrict the name structure, this to do the restriction.
[tt] rx=/test\w*\s*=\s*("|').*?\1/g;[/tt]
If test prefix and that it is following by numbers as the subset of name structure, then this.
[tt] rx=/test\d+\s*=\s*("|').*?\1/g;[/tt]
