Hi, I have created a program that allows me to search for keywords inside the code of stored procedures, functions, tables etc. in SQL Server generated text files. I am looking for a way to find out where a search term (i.e "ADMIN.TABLE) is being referenced in all the code files. I use LINQ to find references. For example when I search f...
I'm trying to create a loose word wrapping system via a regex in Perl. What I would like is about every 70 characters or so to check for the next whitespace occurrence and replace that space with a newline, and then do this for the whole string. The string I'm operating on may already have newlines in it already, but the amount of text b...

With PCRE, how can you construct an expression that will only match if a string is not found. If I were using grep (which I'm not) I would want the -v option. A more concrete example: I want my regexp to match iff string foo is not in the string. So it would match bar would but not foobar. ...
I'm having some difficulty with a specific Regex I'm trying to use. I'm searching for every occurrence of a string (for my purposes, I'll say it's "mystring") in a document, EXCEPT where it's in a tag, e.g. <a href="_mystring_"> should not match, but <a href="someotherstring">_mystring_</a> Should match, since it's not inside a ta...

I'm having trouble writing a regular expression (suitable for PHP's preg_match()) that will parse keyword='value' pairs regardless of whether the <value> string is enclosed in single or double quotes.
