Why don't you include them in the tag? 

Start tag: (?:\+\s)?\[

End tag: (?:\])(\s\+)?

I made the plus symbols optional in case you didn't always get the plus signs in this string.

Hi Paul,

I now have a similar issue now so it might make sense to discuss it in this thread.

This time HTML files have variables in vertical brackets like this:

|=patient_first_name=|

How can I make them non-translatable?

(I tried several regex options for parsing suggested by ChatGPT and they didn't produce the desirable outcome; not sure if the regex was wrong or my settings).

Thank you in advance!

If you simply want to have this as a placeholder tag, try this

\|=.*?=\|

Tried it, it didn't work, unfortunately, the file looks like this:

It must work, at least according to Regex Buddy. Could you please copy & paste few sentences from the text here? Thanks.

Here:

Hi |=patient_first_name=|,

Your healthcare team from |= patient_hospital_name=| would like to learn more about your pregnancy experience so far. Your thoughts will help your healthcare team plan better programs for future patients.

Thank you. I will test later in Studio, but here is the proof it should work:

I am not too familiar with setting up HTML files, so could it be something I didn't click or anything else specific to HTML file settings?

Thank you in advance!

Where did you enter this regex I provided? And please check, if you are using the html file type you modified. There are some different html file types.

You should create a new thread for this because you are confusing users who try to help you.  This time you are using HTML and the solution Jerzy gave you will certainly be ok when working with XML.  With HTML this is only possible with server side scripts used within the HTML so you should really provide a sample of the html (that does not mean the whole file!) that relates to the section you need to address, and then you will get some sensible assistance.

It really helps when we have one thread per question so we can then verify it when  you have the correct answer and this helps users who might be looking for a solution to the same things.  Please create a new one.
