  • Finding C#-style unescaped strings using regular expressions

    - by possan
    I'm trying to write a regular expression that finds C#-style unescaped strings, such as string x = @"hello world"; The problem I'm having is how to write a rule that handles double quotes within the string correctly, like in this example string x = @"before quote ""junk"" after quote"; This should be an easy one, right?

  • How can I test if an input field contains foreign characters?

    - by zeckdude
    I have an input field in a form. Upon pushing submit, I want to validate to make sure the user entered non-latin characters only, so any foreign language characters, like Chinese among many others. Or at the very least test to make sure it does not contain any latin characters. Could I use a regular expression for this? What would be the best approach for this? I am validating in both javaScript and in PHP. What solutions can I use to check for foreign characters in the input field in both programming languages?

  • extracting multiple fields from a text file using php

    - by Dave
    Hi, what is the best way of extracting multiple (~40 values) from a text file using php? the data is more or less like: NAMEA valuea NAMEB valueb I'm looking for a proper* approach to extracting this data into a data-structure, because i will need to specify regexs for all of them (all 40). did i make myself clear? *meaning, the default/painful method would be for me to do: $namea = extractfunction("regexa", $textfilevalue); $nameb = extractfunction("regeb", $textfilevalue); ... 40 times!

  • How can I match everything in a string until the second occurrence of a delimiter with a regular expression?

    - by Steve
    I am trying to refine a preg_match_all by finding the second occurrence of a period then a space: <?php $str = "East Winds 20 knots. Gusts to 25 knots. Waters a moderate chop. Slight chance of showers."; preg_match_all ('/(^)((.|\n)+?)(\.\s{2})/',$str, $matches); $dataarray=$matches[2]; foreach ($dataarray as $value) { echo $value; } ?> But it does not work: the {2} occurrence is incorrect. I have to use preg_match_all because I am scraping dynamic HTML. I want to capture this from the string: East Winds 20 knots. Gusts to 25 knots.

  • PHP: Return string between two characters

    - by Nic Hubbard
    I am wanting to use "keywords" within a large string. These keywords start and end using *my_keyword* and are user defined. How, within a large string, can I search and find what is between the two * characters and return each instance? The reason it might change it, that parts of the keywords can be user defined, such as *page_date_Y* which might show the year in which the page was created. So, again, I just need to do a search and return what is between those * characters. Is this possible, or is there a better way of doing this if I don't know the "keyword" length or what i might be?

  • Regular Expression repetition of class

    - by codersarepeople
    I am trying to figure out a regular expression for the following: <tr class="A">.*</tr><tr class="(B|C)">.*</tr> Now The second tr class will repeat an unknown number of times, with something unknown in between repetitions, but simply putting it in parentheses and added a plus doesn't work. Here's the PHP code that didn't work: $pattern = '/<tr\ class=\"A\">.*(<tr\ class=\"(B|C)\">.*<\/tr>.*)+/'; preg_match_all($pattern,$playerHtml,$scores); But it only returns the first Here's an example of something that should match: <tr class="A">blah</tr>blah <tr class="B">blah</tr>blah <tr class="B">blah</tr>blah <tr class="C">blah</tr> This only matches blahblahblah

  • Regular expression to match text that doesn't start with substring?

    - by Steven
    I have text with file names scattered throughout. The filenames appear in the text like this: |test.txt| |usr01.txt| |usr02.txt| |foo.txt| I want to match the filenames that don't start with usr. I came up with (?<=\|).*\.txt(?=\|) to match the filenames, but it doesn't exclude the ones starting with usr. Is this possible with regular expressions?

  • Next line matching the regex in bash

    - by Lin_freak
    I have a file in the format: Port Number IP address Port Number IP address (Not sure how the output will be displayed here but let me tell you they are on separate lines) and so on.... I use the command grep -C 1 'port number' file.txt i.e. I want all IP addresses corresponding to a particular port. Making it simple, I want the next line matching a regular expression. Like if my regular expression matches line 2,4 and 6 then I want lines 3, 5 and 7 to be printed. How to do that?

  • Splitting Nucleotide Sequences in JS with Regexp

    - by TEmerson
    I'm trying to split up a nucleotide sequence into amino acid strings using a regular expression. I have to start a new string at each occurrence of the string "ATG", but I don't want to actually stop the first match at the "ATG". Valid input is any ordering of a string of As, Cs, Gs, and Ts. For example, given the input string: ATGAACATAGGACATGAGGAGTCA I should get two strings: ATGAACATAGGACATGAGGAGTCA (the whole thing) and ATGAGGAGTCA (the first match of "ATG" onward). A string that contains "ATG" n times should result in n results. I thought the expression /(?:[ACGT]*)(ATG)[ACGT]*/g would work, but it doesn't. If this can't be done with a regexp it's easy enough to just write out the code for, but I always prefer an elegant solution if one is available.

  • How to modify complex argument strings in Perl

    - by mmccoo
    I have a cmdline that I'm trying to modify to remove some of the arguments. What makes this complex is that I can have nested arguments. Say that I have this: $cmdline = "-a -xyz -a- -b -xyz -b- -a -xyz -a-" I have three different -xyz flags that are to be interpreted in two different contexts. One is the -a context and the other is the -b context. I want to remove the "a" -xyz's but leave the ones in the "b" -xyz. How can I most effectively do this in Perl?

  • not autolinking all-numeric twitter hashtags in perl?

    - by all_numeric_no_hash
    I'm producing HTML from twitter search results. Happily using the Net::Twitter module :-) One of the rules in Twitter is that all-numeric hashtags are not links. This allows to unambiguously tweet things like "ur not my #1 anymore", as in here: http://twitter.com/natarias2007/status/11246320622 The solution I came up with looks like: $tweet =~ s{#([0-9]*[A-Za-z_]+[0-9]*)}{<a href="http://twitter.com/search?q=%23$1">#$1</a>}g; It seems to work (let's hope), but I'm still curious... how would you do it?

  • How can I improve this regular expression?

    - by Michael Haren
    I want a regular expression to match valid input into a Tags input field with the following properties: 1-5 tags Each tag is 1-30 characters long Valid tag characters are [a-zA-Z0-9-] input and tags can be separated by any amount of whitespace Here's what I have so far--it seems to work but I'm interested how it could be simplified or if it has any major flaws: \s*[a-zA-Z0-9-]{1,30}(\s+[a-zA-Z0-9-]{1,30}){0,4}\s* // that is: \s* // match all beginning whitespace [a-zA-Z0-9-]{1,30} // match the first tag (\s+[a-zA-Z0-9-]{1,30}){0,4} // match all subsequent tags \s* // match all ending whitespace Preprocessing the input to make the whitespace issue easier isn't an option (e.g. trimming or adding a space). If it matters, this will be used in javascript. Any suggestions would be appreciated, thanks!

  • preg_replace replacing with array

    - by Scott
    What I want to do is replace the "[replace]" in input string with the corresponding vaule in the replace array. The total number of values will change but there will always be the same number in the replace array as in input string. I have tried doing this with preg_replace and preg_replace_callback but I can't get the pattern right for [replace], I also tried using vsprintf but the % in <table width="100%"> was messing it up. All help is greatly appreciated! Replace Array: $array = array('value 1','value 2','value 3'); Input String $string = ' <table width="100%"> <tr> <td>Name:</td> <td>[replace]</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Date:</td> <td>[replace]</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Info:</td> <td>[replace]</td> </tr> </table> '; Desired Result <table width="100%"> <tr> <td>Name:</td> <td>value 1</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Date:</td> <td>value 2</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Info:</td> <td>value 3</td> </tr> </table>

  • Normalizing Strings using Regexes

    - by RasputinJones
    How do I match this string "1 & 2" from this string "Foo Bar 1 & 2"? How do I match this string "1, 2 & 3" from this string "Foo Baz 1, 2 & 3"? Trying to split out "Foo Bar" from the string using regexes while using the presence of "1 & 2" or "1, 2 & 3" as conditionals to normalize these strings into "Foo Bar 1" and "Foo Bar 2" or "Foo Baz 1", "Foo Baz 2" and "Foo Baz 3" respectively.

  • Extracting numbers from a url using javascript?

    - by stormist
    var exampleURL = '/example/url/345234/test/'; var numbersOnly = [?] The /url/ and /test portions of the path will always be the same. Note that I need the numbers between /url/ and /test. In the example URL above, the placeholder word example might be numbers too from time to time but in that case it shouldn't be matched. Only the numbers between /url/ and /test. Thanks!

I mean... it splits whole words into parts (on special chars) where it shouldn't! so my guess is I should use multibyte functions instead of regular preg_replace... I tried to replace preg_replace with mb_ereg_replace but it is not working as it should... at least not for 2 and 3 words phrases any ideas?
