Example: USE [MyDB] GO /****** Object: Table [dbo].[User] Script Date: 07/07/2009 10:16:48 ******/ SET ANSI_NULLS ON GO SET QUOTED_IDENTIFI...
I'm working to replace a large set of TTLs inside some tinydns zonefiles. Regardless of what the TTL is currently set to, I want it to become 900. I'm looking for some sed magic, and I'm almost there it seems. I have about 50 hostnames to replace the TTL, and the zones are sporadically assigned. The lines in the zonefiles don't need ...
I define a 'block' of text as all lines between start of file, newline or end of file: block1 block2 block3 anotherblock4 anotherblock5 anotherblock6 lastblock7 lastblock8 Any text can occupy a block - it is unknown what lines are there. I tried to write a shell script to insert a new line at the 2nd block, but since sed doesn't lik...

Often when writing PHP I'll have it output some HTML like this - echo "<a href="../" title="link title">".$link_text."</a>"; Obviously this won't parse as I need to escape the double quotes in the attributes of the <a> element. Is there a regex that would quickly do this rather than me manually adding the backslashes? One other thing...
I'm validating a textbox for valid email with this: <asp:RegularExpressionValidator ID="RegularExpressionValidator1" ControlToValidate="txtMailCustom" Text="Invalid address" ValidationExpression="^([a-zA-Z0-9_\-\.]+)@((\[[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9] {1,3}\.)|(([a-zA-Z0-9\-]+\.)+))([a-zA-Z]{2,4}|[0-9]{1,3})(\]?)$" runat="server" /> No...

This shell script is used to extract a line of data from $2 if it contains the pattern $line. $line is constructed using the regular expression [A-Z0-9.-]+@[A-Z0-9.-]+ (a simple email match), form the lines in file $1. #! /bin/sh clear for line in `cat "$1" | grep -i -o -E "[A-Z0-9.-]+@[A-Z0-9.-]+"` do echo `cat "$2" | grep -m 1 ...
I'm using the regex System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.Replace(stringToSplit, "([A-Z])", " $1").Trim() to split strings by capital letter, for example: 'MyNameIsSimon' becomes 'My Name Is Simon' I find this incredibly useful when working with enumerations. What I would like to do is change it slightly so that strings are only spli...
It strikes me that regular expressions are not understood well by the majority of developers. It also strikes me that for a lot of problems where regular expressions are used, a lump of code could be used instead. Granted, it might be slower and be 20 lines for something like email validation, but if performance of the code is not desper...
Hi, We are using JAXB 1.0.6 (the project has started with JDK1.4 and this is the last compatible version) to create XML-Files from a XSD specification.

I am trying to match emails from one of my own sites using a regular expression. Using preg_match_all($pattern,$site,$array) the results I get are duplicate. So for example, using: $pattern = '/[\w-]+@([\w-]+\.)+[\w-]+/i'; I get: Array ( [0] => [email protected] [1] => [email protected] [2] => [email protected] [3] => sales@...
Is there any way to match a function block in javascript source code using regular expressions? (Really I'm trying to find the opposite of that, but I figured this would be a good place to start.) ...
I seem to remember that Regular Expressions in DotNet have a special mechanism that allows for the correct matching of nested structures, like the grouping in "( (a ( ( c ) b ) ) ( d ) e )". What is the python equivalent of this feature? Can this be achieved using regular expressions with some workaround? (Though it seems to be the sor...
There is a method Regex.Replace(string source, string pattern, string replacement) The last parameter supports pattern replacements such as ${groupName} and others (but I don't know the group name in the run-time). In my case I have the dynamically created pattern like: (?<c0>word1)|(?<c1>word2)|(?<c2>word3) My purpose is to repla...

I'm using the following code to get an array with all sub directories from a given path. String[] subDirs = path.split(File.separator); I need the array to check if certain folders are at the right place in this path. This looked like a good solution until findBugs complains that File.separator is used as a regular expression. It see...
