I'm working on 2 cases:
assume I have those var:
a = "hello"
b = "hello-SP"
b = "not_hello"
1 - Any partial matches
I want to accept any string that has the var a inside, so b and c would match.
2 - Patterned match
I want to match a string that has a inside, followed by '-', so b would match, c does not.
I am having problem, because I always used the syntax /expression/ to define Regexp, so how dinamicaly define an RegExp on Ruby??
Anyone has experience measuring glibc regexp functions?
Are there any generic tests I need to run to make such a measurements (in addition to testing the exact patterns I intend to search)?
Thanks.
Hi
below is something I am trying to do with JavaScript.
If I have string like
str = "how are you? hope you are doing good" ;
now I want to split it with ? but I dont want to lose the "?". Instead I want to break the string just after the question mark such a way that question mark is with the first segment that we have
after splitting str what should I get is
["how are you?","hope you are doing good"]
I am not sure if it can be done with Javascript split() function ,please help.
Take the following file...
ABCD,1234,http://example.com/mpe.exthttp://example/xyz.ext
EFGH,5678,http://example.com/wer.exthttp://example/ljn.ext
Note that "ext" is a constant file extension throughout the file.
I am looking for an expression to turn that file into something like this...
ABCD,1234,http://example.com/mpe.ext
ABCD,1234,http://example/xyz.ext
EFGH,5678,http://example.com/wer.ext
EFGH,5678,http://example/ljn.ext
In a nutshell I need to capture everything up to the urls. Then I need to capture each URL and put them on their own line with the leading capture.
I am working with sed to do this and I cannot figure out how to make it work correctly. Any ideas?
I am an amateur in JavaScript. I saw this other question, and it made me wonder.
Can you tell me what does the below regular expression exactly mean?
split(/\|(?=\w=>)/)
Does it split the string with "|"?
Scenario:
I have a text file that has pipe (as in the "|" character) delimited data.
Each field of data in the pipe delimited fields can be of variable length, so counting characters won't work (or using some sort of substring function... if that even exists in VIM).
Is it possible, using VIM / Vi to delete all data from the second pipe to the end of the line for the entire file? There are approx 150,000 lines, so doing this manually would only be appealing to a masochist...
e.g.
Change the following lines from:
1111|random sized text 12345|more random data la la la|1111|abcde
2222|random sized text abcdefghijk|la la la la|2222|defgh
3333|random sized text|more random data|33333|ijklmnop
to:
1111|random sized text 12345
2222|random sized text abcdefghijk
3333|random sized text
I'm sure this can be done somehow... I hope.
TIA
UPDATE: I should have mentioned that I'm running this on Windows XP, so I don't have access to some of the mentioned *nix commands (CUT is not recognized on Windows).
How can I parse text and find all instances of hyperlinks with a string? The hyperlink will not be in the html format of <a href="http://test.com">test</a> but just http://test.com
Secondly, I would like to then convert the original string and replace all instances of hyperlinks into clickable html hyperlinks.
I found an example in this thread:
Easiest way to convert a URL to a hyperlink in a C# string?
but was unable to reproduce it in python :(
Is there a way to obtain patterns in one file (a list of patterns) from another file using ack as the -f option in grep? I see there is an -f option in ack but it's different with the -f in grep.
Perhaps an example will give you a better idea. Suppose I have file1:
file1:
a
c
e
And file2:
file2:
a 1
b 2
c 3
d 4
e 5
And I want to obtain all the patterns in file1 from file2 to give:
a 1
c 3
e 5
Can ack do this? Otherwise, is there a better way to handle the job (such like awk or using hash) because I have millions of records in both files and really need an efficient way to complete? Thanks!
I trying to parse this string:
$right = '34601)S(1,6)[2] - 34601)(11)[2] + 34601)(3)[2,4]';
with following regexp:
const word = '(\d{3}\d{2}\)S{0,1}\([^\)]*\)S{0,1}\[[^\]]*\])';
preg_match('/'.word.'{1}(?:\s{1}([+-]{1})\s{1}'.word.'){0,}/', $right, $matches);
print_r($matches);
i want to return array like this:
Array
(
[0] => 34601)S(1,6)[2] - 34601)(11)[2] + 34601)(3)[2,4]
[1] => 34601)S(1,6)[2]
[2] => -
[3] => 34601)(11)[2]
[4] => +
[5] => 34601)(3)[2,4]
)
but i return only following:
Array
(
[0] => 34601)S(1,6)[2] - 34601)(11)[2] + 34601)(3)[2,4]
[1] => 34601)S(1,6)[2]
[2] => +
[3] => 34601)(3)[2,4]
)
i think, its becouse of [^)]* or [^]]* in the word,
but how i should correct regexp for matching this in another way?
i tryied to specify it:
\d+(?:[,#]\d+){0,}
so word become
const word = '(\d{3}\d{2}\)S{0,1}\(\d+(?:[,#]\d+){0,}\)S{0,1}\[\d+(?:[,#]\d+){0,}\])';
but it gives nothing
I have a need to identify comments in different kinds of source files in a given directory. ( For example java,XML, JavaScript, bash). I have decided to do this using Python (as an attempt to learn Python). The questions I have are
1) What should I know about python to get this done? ( I have an idea that Regular Expressions will be useful but are there alternatives/other modules that will be useful? Libraries that I can use to get this done?)
2) Is Python a good choice for such a task? Will some other language make this easier to accomplish?
I have a string. That string is a html code and it serves as a teaser for the blog posts I am creating. The whole html code (teaser) is stored in a field in the database.
My goal: I'd like to make that when a user (facebook like social button) likes certain blog post, right data is displayed on his news feeds. In order to do that I need to extract from the teaser in the first occurrence of an image an image path inside src="i-m-a-g-e--p-a-t-h". I succeeded when a user puts only one image in teaser, but if he accidentally puts two images or more the whole thing craches.
Furthermore, for description field I need to extract text inside the first occurrence inside <p> tag. The problem is also that a user can put an image inside the first tag.
I would very much appreciate if an expert could help me resolve this what's been bugging me for days.
Text string with a regular expression for extracting src can be found here: http://rubular.com/r/gajzivoBSf

I have the following asp.net custom validator:
<asp:CustomValidator runat="server"
ClientValidationFunction="valUCRRequired" ID="valUCRRequired"
ErrorMessage="Field 7-Date/Time Between is Required"
ControlToValidate="DTE_FROM" />
Notice that the ID and ClientValidationFunction have the same value. I want to do a regular expression search where they are the same. Right now, I am just searching for all CustomValidators.
Hi. When I want to get the title of a remote webiste, I use this script:
function get_remotetitle($urlpage)
{
$file = @fopen(($urlpage),"r");
$text = fread($file,16384);
if (preg_match('/<title>(.*?)<\/title>/is',$text,$found)) {
$title = $found[1];
} else {
$title = 'Title N/A';
}
return $title;
}
But when I parase a webiste title with accents, I get "?". But if I look in PHPMyAdmin, I see the accents correctly. What's happening?
I have a string in my code that I receive that contains some html tags. It is not part of the HTML page being displayed so I cannot grab the html tag contents using the DOM (i.e. document.getElementById('tag id').firstChild.data);
So, for example within the string of text would appear a tag like this:
12
My question is how would I use a regular expression to access the '12' numeric digit in this example? This quantity could be any number of digits (i.e. it is not always a double digit).
I have tried some regular expressions, but always end up getting the full span tag returned along with the contents. I only want the '12' in the example above, not the surrounding tag. The id of the tags will always be 'myQty' in the string of text I receive.
Thanks in advance for any help!

print_r(preg_split('/([\!|\?|\.|\!\?])/', $string, null, PREG_SPLIT_DELIM_CAPTURE));
Is there any way to split a string on a set of delimiters, and retain the position and character(s) of the delimiter after the split?
For example, using delimiters of ! ? . !? turning this:
$string = 'Hello. A question? How strange! Maybe even surreal!? Who knows.';
into this
array('Hello', '.', 'A question', '?', 'How strange', '!', 'Maybe even surreal', '!?', 'Who knows', '.');
Currently I'm trying to use print_r(preg_split('/([\!|\?|\.|\!\?])/', $string)); to capture the delimiters as a subpattern, but I'm not having much luck.
What will be the regular expression in javascript to match a name field,
which allows only letters, apostrophes and hyphons?

Hi,
I'm using regular expression to count the total spaces in a line (first occurrence).
match(/^\s*/)[0].length;
However this reads it from the start to end, How can I read it from end to start.
Thanks
what is the best way to extract last 2 characters of a string using regular expression.
For example, I want to extract state code from the following
"A_IL"
I want to extract IL as string..
please provide me C# code on how to get it..
string fullexpression = "A_IL";
string StateCode = some regular expression code....
thanks
What will be proper regular expression for git repositories?
example link:
[email protected]:someone/someproject.git
so it will be like
server can be url or ip
Project can contain some other characters than alphanumeric like '-'
I'm not sure what is the role of '/'
any suggestions?
For example, here is a string representing an expression:
var str = 'total = sum(price * qty) * 1.09875';
I want to extract variables (i.e., 'total', 'price' and 'qty' but not 'sum' since 'sum' is a function name) from this expression. What is the regexp pattern in javascript? Variable name consists of letters, digits, or the underscore, beginning with letters or the underscore.
In my web app I've got a form field where the user can enter an URL. I'm already doing some preliminary client-side validation and I was wondering if I could use a regexp to validate if the entered string is a valid URL. So, two questions:
Is it safe to do this with a regexp? A URL is a complex beast, and just like you shouldn't use a regexp for parsing HTML, I'm worried that it might be unsuitable for a URL as well.
If it can be done, what would be a good regexp for the task? (I know that Google turns up countless regexps, but I'm worried about their quality).
My goal is to prevent a situation where the URL appears in the web page and is unusable by the browser.
I want the validator for password text input.
At least one Upper case letter
At least one numeric character
At least one special character such as @, #, $, etc.
should be there in password how can i give it in action script or mxml.please help me.
Thanks.
