• Regex to match all HTML tags except <p> and </p>

  - by Xetius

  I need to match and remove all tags using a regular expression in Perl. I have the following: <\\??(?!p).+?> But this still matches with the closing </p> tag. Any hint on how to match with the closing tag as well? Note, this is being performed on xhtml.

• RegEx: difference between "(?:...) and normal parentheses

  - by N0thing

  >>> re.findall(r"(?:do|re|mi)+", "mimi") ['mimi'] >>> re.findall(r"(do|re|mi)+", "mimi") ['mi'] According to my understanding of the definitions, it should produce the same answer. The only difference between (...) and (?:...) should be whether or not we can use back-references later. Am I missing something? (...) Matches whatever regular expression is inside the parentheses, and indicates the start and end of a group; the contents of a group can be retrieved after a match has been performed, and can be matched later in the string with the \number special sequence, described below. To match the literals '(' or ')', use ( or ), or enclose them inside a character class: [(] [)]. (?:...) A non-capturing version of regular parentheses. Matches whatever regular expression is inside the parentheses, but the substring matched by the group cannot be retrieved after performing a match or referenced later in the pattern.

• Replace URL with a link using regex in python

  - by user122750

  how do I convert some text to a link? Back in PHP, I used this piece of code that worked well for my purpose: $text = preg_replace("#(^|[\n ])(([\w]+?://[\w\#$%&~.\-;:=,?@\[\]+]*)(/[\w\#$%&~/.\-;:=,?@\[\]+]*)?)#is", "\\1<a href=\"\\2\" target=\"_blank\">\\3</a>", $text); $text = preg_replace("#(^|[\n ])(((www|ftp)\.[\w\#$%&~.\-;:=,?@\[\]+]*)(/[\w\#$%&~/.\-;:=,?@\[\]+]*)?)#is", "\\1<a href=\"http://\\2\" target=\"_blank\">\\3</a>", $text); I tried around in Python, but was unable to get it to work.. Would be very nice if someone could translate this to Python :)..

• Regex to test if an input string contains a certain number of characters

  - by Dan

  So, I basically would like to test to see if a string contains a range of alphanumeric characters. It's to be used as a client-side validation and I don't want to prevent users from entering whatever they want. Best to give examples of what should/should not pass validation: So to be specific, the expression I'm looking for is to test to make sure string contains anywhere from 3 to 10 alphanumeric characters. I'd like to plug into an ASP.NET client side validator. NOTE: quotes not part of input (but could be!) " f o o " should pass since there are 3 chars "f_0_0" should pass " fo " should not "F......o......o......b.....a......r" should pass thx

• get entire line with java.util.scanner.hasNext(regex)

  - by Hussain

  I'm doing something in Java that requires input to be matched against the pattern ^[1-5]$. I should have a while loop looping through each line of input, checking it against the pattern, and outputting an error message if it does not. Sudo code: while (regex_match(/^[^1-5]$/,inputLine)) { print ("Please enter a number between 1 and 5! "); getNextInputLine(); } I can use java.util.Scanner.hasMatch("^[^1-5]$"), but that will only match a single token, not the entire line. Any idea on how to make hasMatch match against the entire line? (Setting the delimiter to "\n" or "\0" doesn't work.)

• Using RegEx to Identify parts of a Database Connection String

  - by David_Jarrett

  I'm trying to get to grips with regular expressions: I have a database connection string and I'd like to use a regular expression to identify specific Keys and Values within it. For example server=foo;database=bar;uid=foo;pwd=bar I'd like something to return "database=bar;" using the 'database' key to identify it, ideally it would be case insensitive. I can do this using normal code, but I think that this is exactly the sort of thing for which regular expressions were designed.

• Perl regex which grabs ALL double letter occurances in a line

  - by phileas fogg

  Hi all, still plugging away at teaching myself Perl. I'm trying to write some code that will count the lines of a file that contain double letters and then place parentheses around those double letters. Now what I've come up with will find the first ocurrance of double letters, but not any other ones. For instance, if the line is: Amp, James Watt, Bob Transformer, etc. These pioneers conducted many My code will render this: 19 Amp, James Wa(tt), Bob Transformer, etc. These pioneers conducted many The "19" is the count (of lines containing double letters) and it gets the "tt" of "Watt" but misses the "ee" in "pioneers". Below is my code: $file = '/path/to/file/electricity.txt'; open(FH, $file) || die "Cannot open the file\n"; my $counter=0; while (<FH>) { chomp(); if (/(\w)\1/) { $counter += 1; s/$&/\($&\)/g; print "\n\n$counter $_\n\n"; } else { print "$_\n"; } } close(FH); What am I overlooking? TIA!

• Trying to create a RegEx for the following patterns

  - by Travis

  Here are the patterns: Red,Green (and so on...) Red (+5.00),Green (+6.00) (and so on...) Red (+5.00,+10.00),Green (+6.00,+20.00) (and so on...) Red (+5.00),Green (and so on...) Each attribute ("Red,"Green") can have 0, 1, or 2 modifiers (shown as "+5.00,+10.00", etc.). I need to capture each of the attributes and their modifiers as a single string (i.e. "Red (+5.00,+10.00)", "Green (+6.00,+20.00)". Help?

• ColdFusion - pass regex backreference to function call

  - by stubotnik

  Hi, I'm using ColdFusion's reReplace() function for regular expression pattern replacement. I'd like to use a function call for the replacement string, and pass a matched backreference to it. Something like this: <cfset s = "STARTDATE_2010-05-07 00:05:00.0_ENDDATE" /> <cfset s = reReplace(s, "STARTDATE_([\s-.:0-9]*)_ENDDATE", dateAdd("h", 1, "\1")) /> But that fails because "The value of parameter 3, which is currently \1, must be a class java.util.Date value." Is there any other way to achieve this? Thanks, Stu

• Regex to replace 'li' with 'option' without losing class and id attributes

  - by Earthman Web

  I am looking for a solution using preg_replace or similar method to change: <li id="id1" class="authorlist" /> <li id="id2" class="authorlist" /> <li id="id3" class="authorlist" /> to <option id="id1" class="authorlist" /> <option id="id2" class="authorlist" /> <option id="id3" class="authorlist" /> I think I have the pattern correct, but not sure how to do the replacement part... Here is the (wordpress) php code: $string = wp_list_authors( $args ); //returns list as noted above $pattern = '<li ([^>]*)'; $replacement = '?????'; echo preg_replace($pattern, $replacement, $string); Suggestions, please?

• Need Help With Simple Regex

  - by npinti

  I have strings of this type: text (more text) What I would like to do is to have a regular expression that extracts the "more text" segment of the string, so far I have been using this regular expression: "^.*\\((.*)\\)$" Which although it works on many cases, it seems to fail if I have something of the sort: text (more text (even more text)) What I get is: even more text) What I would like to get instead is: more text (even more text) (basically the content of the outermost pair of brackets.) Thanks

• .Net regex: what is the word character \w?

  - by tanascius

  Simple question: What is the pattern for the word character \w in c#, .net? My first thought was that it matches [A-Za-z0-9_] and the documentation tells me: Character class Description Pattern Matches \w Matches any \w "I", "D", "A", "1", "3" word character. in "ID A1.3" which is not very helpful. And \w seems to match äöü, too. What else? Is there a better (exact) definition available?

  Hello, I am working with php and mysql. I have one dropdown box where I am asking datatype of mysql field. Now, I want to put javascript validation for it. I am confused with the enum datatype.
