Hi! I need an regular expression that matches A.*C only if there's no "B" in between. Before and after "A.*C without B in between", any string is allowed (including A, B and C). "A", "B" and "C" are placeholders for longer strings. So the regex should match ie. "AfooC", "AfooCbarB", "A C B A", but not "AfooBbarC" or "A B C B". I think ...

I have developed a wordpress plugin that looks through a bunch of html and detects any email address, replacing them by a non harvestable html markup (to be rerendered as an email via javascript for better usability). So for instance, the function receives: $content = "Hello [email protected]. How are you today?"; and outputs: $content =...
In my master's I've seen how to write parsers, compilers using ANTLR. But in the real world, often times we have a requirement of parsing and extracting relevant content from a heavy load of in-coming stream data. Each language has it's own regular expression engine which can be conveniently used to parse the data. Alternatively we can w...

The source of the text is .doc files, which I then copy paste into forms, to be processed on submit. preg_match('/^[^@]+@[a-zA-Z0-9._-]+\.[a-zA-Z]+$/', $email) //from ...

I want to have a string in the following format "FAG001 FAG002 FAG003" and want to split it into "FAG001" "FAG002" "FAG003" using a regular expression. Unfortunately my knowledge of regular expression synatax is limited to say teh least. I have tried things like Dim result = Regex.Split(npcCodes, "([A-Z]3[0-9]3)").ToList withou...
Hi guys, I'm trying to construct a regular expression that would match a pattern as such: word1, word2, word3 So basically I want ", " to appear twice and to have words between them. So far I came up with: $general_content_check = preg_match("/^.*, .*$/", $general_content); But this matches only ", " several times in a string. Ca...

As the name suggests we may think that regular expressions can match regular languages only. But regular expressions we use in practice contain stuff that I am not sure it's possible to implement with their theoretical counterparts. How for example would you simulate a back-reference? So the question arises: what is the theoretical power...
Getting frustrated... So, I want to modify the back reference of a preg_replace. Figured I can't actually modify (?) so am wondering if it's possible to change the regex to achieve same result. Example. Match [xx_xx] and output "xx_xx" and "xx xx". The "xx_xx" is straightforward (as follows) but the "xx xx" ? $y = "this [fishing_rod]...
Hi, I'm trying to figure out how to write a regex that can detect if in my string, any character is repeated more than five times consecutively? For example it wouldn't detect "hello", but it would detect "helloooooooooo". Any ideas? Thanks Edit: Sorry, to clarify, I need it to detect the same character repeated more than five times, n...
