I have a very interesting task, which I don't know how to implement. I need to store many regular expressions in a database table, and need to be able to find which of them matches the given string. For example: id | regexp ---|------------- 1 | ^hello world$ 2 | ^I have [0-9] flowers& 3 | ^some other regexp$ 4 | ^and another (o...
I've this PHP regular expression: $username = preg_replace('/[^a-z0-9]/i', '', $username); It allows only A-Z and 0-9. How can I allow ., - and _ as well? ...

hi, i'm searching forward in an array of strings with a regex, like this: for (int j = line; j < lines.length; j++) { if (lines[j] == null || lines[j].isEmpty()) { continue; } matcher = pattern.matcher(lines[j]); if (matcher.find(offset)) { offset = matcher.end(); line = j; System.out.p...
In PostgreSQL, there is a BLOB datatype called bytea. It's just an array of bytes. bytea literals are output in the following way: '\\037\\213\\010\\010\\005`Us\\000\\0001.fp3\'\\223\\222%' See PostgreSQL docs for full definition of the format. I'm trying to construct a Perl regular expression which will match any such string. It sh...
I'm trying to use (.+?) to isolate the words "I. NEED. ISOLATION" in the source below: <strong>Label:</strong></font></td> <td valign="top" width="82%"> <font face="Arial" size="2"> I. NEED.

I want to ignore everything BUT a subfolder in Mercurial. The folder I want to keep: a/b/c/d/e/f Everything else under: a/b Should be ignored. I'm using regexp mode in the .hgignore file. This is what I've so far: a/b/(?!c) a/b/c/(?!d) a/b/c/d/(?!e) a/b/c/d/e/(?!f) Even if this works fine, I would like to shrink it to a single...
I am trying to first find a div using a regular expression (since its class name is somewhat dynamic). Once found, I then need to place the div inside of a fieldset, so I end up having a final output of <fieldset class="..."> <div class="the one I found">...</div> </fieldset> How can I do this in javascript? Much thanks, Steve ...
(Yes, yes, I shouldn't use regexps. Alternate solutions are most welcome!) I'm trying to customize my view of a web page I use a lot, using GreaseMonkey to filter out things I don't want to see. Basically, the pages contain a lot of links that look like this: <a class="foo" href="blah">Text</a> and I'd prefer them to look like this:...
Hi all ^.*(?=.{15,})(?=.*\\d)(?=.*[a-z])(?=.*[A-Z])(?=.*[!@#$%^&*+=]).*$ This is the regex I am currently using which will evaluate on 1 of each: upper,lower,digit, and specials of my choosing. The question I have is how do I make it check for 2 of each of these? Also I ask because it is seemingly difficult to write a test case for ...
Consider the need to replace window titles that are currently in all caps i.e. "ADD PRESCRIPTION", "ADD PATIENT", to the form "Add Prescription" and "Add Patient". I am using the Visual Studio search dialog to find all of the strings that are all caps using the regex "([A-Z]|[ ])*". That works great. Is it possible to find and replac...
My thoughts on how to grab all scalers and arrays out of perl file went along the lines of: open (InFile, "SomeScript.pl"); @InArray = <InFile>; @OutArray = {}; close (InFile); $ArrayCount = @InArray; open (OutFile, ">outfile.txt"); for ($x=0; $x<=$ArrayCount; $x++){ $Testline = @InArray[$x]; if($Testline =~ m/((@|\$)[A-Z]+)/i){ $O...

What is the best way to determine whether or not a field's value is an integer in SQL Server (2000/2005/2008)? IsNumeric returns true for a variety of formats that would not likely convert to an integer. Examples include '15,000' and '15.1'. You can use a like statement but that only appears to work well for fields that have a pre-det...
