 Well, I don't like golf but

      You really want to replace height with width ?

      string.gsub!(/\b(width|height)="\d+"/) { "width=\"#{rep[$1]}\"" }

      or

      string.gsub!(/\b(width|height)="\d+"/) { "#$1=\"#{rep[$1]}\"" }

      but because html is a stupid format

      string.gsub!(/\b(width|height)=(['"])\d+\\2/) { "#$1=#$2#{rep[$1]}#$2" }

      to handle the case

       width='12' height="24"

      probably you need \s* for the case width = '12'
