However, I think it'd be much nicer if the page did not have to refresh to...

For now I'm using this regexp: ^\A([a-z0-9\.\-_\+]+)@((?:[-a-z0-9]+\.)+[a-z]{2,})\Z$ I think it is not very good. So what's the best regular expression you have or have seen for validating jids? For reference, Section 3 of the XMPP core standard defines a JID in Augmented Backus-Naur Form as jid = [ node "@" ] domain [ "...

I have this code in that scripting language: write {Hello, World!} in either the color {blue} or {red} or {#00AA00} and in either the font {Arial Black} or {Monaco} where both the color and the font are determined randomly (Yes, it's hard to believe but that's the syntax)...

In other words, I have a string like: "anything, escaped double-quotes: \", yep" anything here NOT to be matched. How do I match everything inside the quotes? I'm thinking ^"((?<!\\)[^"]+)" But my head spins, should that be a positive or a negative lookbehind? Or does it work at all? How do I match any characters except a double-qu...

The idea here is a custom formatting of string values very similar to the .NET String.Format/{0} style of string formatting. For example the user would define a String format to be evaluated at runtime like so: D:\Path\{LanguageId}\{Pers...

I want to extract Urdu phrases out of a user-submitted string in PHP.
