Sorry this might be a simple question, but I could not figure it out. What I need is to filter out all the <a href...> and </a> strings out from a html text. Not sure what regular expression I should use? I tried the following search without any luck: /<\shref^(>)> what I mean here is to search for any string starting with "< href" an...

How can I escape incoming data so I can use it as a pattern in preg_replace() and consorts? For example, I need to match against this string: /vorschau/ Obviously, I need to escape the "v" or I will get an error. I can't find anything in the documentation. Is there some sort of addslashes() for this, or a workaround within the expres...
PCRE: /\A[A-Z0-9_\.%\+\-]+@(?:[A-Z0-9\-]+\.)+(?:[a-z]{2,4}|museum|travel)\z/i POSIX: /^[A-Z0-9_\.%\+\-]+@(?:[A-Z0-9\-]+\.)+(?:[A-Z]{2,4}|museum|travel)$/i This regex is correct in every way for my needs except that it allows emails such as [email protected]. It says these are a match. If I'm not mistaken, doesn't the {2,4} after [A-Z] mean th...

Hello, I am trying to wrap my head around the feasability of parsing a log file with a single RegEx in .NET What is making it difficult is the log file has items that can (but don't always) span multiple lines and that each log file may actually contain multiple 'logs'. Example format: log: event 1 event 2 additional in...

This might be more a a regex question, but it is holding up our release. I'm unable to come up with a clever solution. Basically, we want to rewrite www.oursite.com/Games.aspx?g=classic&m=etc to www.oursite.com/classic/?m=etc The problem is that the rule itself (at least as generated by the URL Rewrite mod for IIS7) looks like this: <...
Something like this: /[abcd]/[efgh]/ The idea is that a will get replaced with e, b with f, c with g and so on. Ideally, this should be language independent. If that isn't possible, I have an alternate solution (because this regex is generated by some code, I can make one for each of the possible replacements). ...

I'm trying to write a regular expression that will check so a given string is a "valid" name. The name-strings are retrieved from a database and then checked to see if they contain weird chars. (Since this is for a Swedish system, I still have to include a few weird chars that are common in Swedish names. ;) ) The problem is that this f...
