I have several thousand xml files generated from java properties files prepared for translation in the TTX format. They contain quite a few variables, that I need to protect from the translators, as they often break such things. The variables are in the form of numbers or occasionally text between a pair of curly braces eg. {0}, {this}. ...
Would you hire a developer who doesn't know how to use regular expressions? That's about it, please state your reasons for or against, and feel free to give different answers for different situations. Just try to break up your answers if you can. ...
Consider the need for a function in C# that will test whether a string is a numeric value. The requirements: must return a boolean. function should be able to allow for whole numbers, decimals, and negatives. assume no using Microsoft.VisualBasic to call into IsNumeric(). Here's a case of reinventing the wheel, but the exercise is goo...
Hi all I know that I can use [a-z] to check for any alphabets from a to z in CF 8. However, are there any regex to detect spanish alphabets like á, í, ó, é, ñ, etc.? Thanks in advance, Monte ...
Hi All, I am very inexperienced when it comes to regular expressions. What I'm trying to do is iterate through a list of strings and try to locate strings that are of a certain pattern. The strings I am interested in will be in the form of "some text ***{some text}***" How do I write a RegEx to match up to? I was trying this: Regex expr...
How would I go about detecting whitespace within a string? For example, I have a name string like: "Jane Doe" Keep in mind that I don't want to trim or replace it, just detect if whitespace exists between the first and second string. ...
My questions is: Is there a good solution to use regular expression in GWT? I'm not satisfied with the use of String.split(regex) for example. GWT translates the Code to JS and then uses the regex as a JS regex. But I cannot use something like the Java Matcher or Java Pattern. But I would need these for group matching. Is there any pos...
I have a log file with the string "ERROR" on some lines. I want to delete every line that doesn't have ERROR so that I can see just what needs fixing. I was going to do something like the following in vim: %s/!(ERROR)// to replace non-error lines with an empty string. I do not believe that standard regexes can do this, but maybe I'm w...
Given this function: function Repeater(template) { var repeater = { markup: template, replace: function(pattern, value) { this.markup = this.markup.replace(pattern, value); } }; return repeater; }; How do I make this.markup.replace() replace globally? Here's the problem. If I use i...

I have a .NET Regex which looks similar to: (?<Type1>AAA)|(?<Type2>BBB) I'm using the Matches method against a sample string e.g. "AAABBBAAA", and then iterating over the matches. My goal is to find the match types, using the regex match group, so for this regex it will be: Type1 Type2 Type1 I couldn't find any GetGroupName metho...
I wanted to match 110110 but not 10110. That means at least twice repeating of two consecutive digits which are the same. Any regex for that? Should match: 110110, 123445446, 12344544644 Should not match: 10110, 123445 ...
I have not gotten into the field of formal languages in computer science yet, so maybe my question is silly. I am writing a simple NMEA parser in C++, and I have to choose: My first idea was to build a simple finite state machine manually, but then I thought that maybe I could do it with less work, even more efficiently. I used regula...
After frequently coming across recommendation not to use leading and double underscores in C/C++ identifiers I decided to fix all our sources once and for all. What I need to do now is convert _Identifier to Identifier_. Should I use a specialized tool for this task of regular expressions will do for this job? In latter case what is the...
I am currently working on a rather large project in Visual Studio 2008 with a lot of Database-Statements. The Statements are held in strings like this: string stmt = "SELECT ID, OTHER " + "FROM TABLE " + "WHERE CONDITION"; I was wondering how to find all Statements via regex. So I am not so good at regex, but maybe s...
Is there an easy way to take a dynamic decimal value and create a validation regular expression that can handle this? For example, I know that /1[0-9]{1}[0-9]{1}/ should match anything from 100-199, so what would be the best way to programmatically create a similar structure given any decimal number? I was thinking that I could just lo...
In Oracle, is it possible to match both a particular string format and an empty string using a single regex? Something along the lines of: SELECT 1 FROM DUAL WHERE REGEXP_LIKE('12345', '^([1-5]{5})|NULL$'); SELECT 1 FROM DUAL WHERE REGEXP_LIKE('', '^([1-5]{5})|NULL$'); SELECT 1 FROM DUAL WHERE REGEXP_LIKE(NULL, '^([1-5]{5})|...
I have a string in Perl like: "Full Name (userid)" and I want to return just the userid (everything between the "()"'s). What regular expression would do this in Perl? ...
I have an array of objects that have 2 properties: Key and Value. I have a block of text with placeholders that correspond to the object Keys. I want to replace the placeholders with the corresponding Value from the object with the matching key. I have the following code: function LoadReplacementData(replacementData) { var text =...
